Wisconsin sausage recall
DES MOINES (DTN)--A Wisconsin firm is recalling 46,800 pounds of pork sausage because the product is improperly labeled and does not mention potential allergens contained in the meat, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Dec. 30.
Abbyland Foods of Abbotsford, Wis., failed to list ingredients whey, nonfat dry milk and Wheat flour--all potential allergens--on its one-pound packages of "Gourmet Banger" sausage. Larger 10-pound packages of the sausages are also being recalled.
The USDA has not received reports of allergic reactions caused by the sausages. The mislabeled products were discovered by a department inspector.
The sausages were produced between Jan. 1 and Dec. 30, and sold to restaurants in California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
Abbyland's one-pound sausage packages have the case code "490100," and the 10-pound packages are numbered "490210." Both products carry the establishment number "EST. 1633" inside the Agriculture Department's mark of inspection.
Consumers with recalled sausages can call Abbyland Foods assistant quality assurance manager Tiffany Pierce at 715-223-6386 ext. 7228.
Consumers with other food safety questions can call the USDA's meat and poultry toll-free information line at 888-674-6854.
