Federal health officials have issued a recall for more than 35,000 pounds of sausage due to concerns that it may be contaminated with rubber particles.
According to the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), Wisconsin-based Salm Partners, LLC is recalling Johnsonville turkey kielbasa sausage produced between October 30-31, 2023. These came in 12-ounce containers labeled “Johnsonville POLISH KIELBASA TURKEY” sausage with a ‘best by date’ of May 17, 2024 and May 18, 2024. Each product has the establishment number “P-32009” on the side of the packaging.
The sausages were transported to retail outlets in 11 states, including Kansas, according to a company release on its website. Other states affected by the recall include Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Washington, California, Oregon, Idaho, North Carolina, Iowa, and Minnesota.
According to the FSIS, the problem was detected when some customers found fragments of rubber in their sausage. There have been no reported injuries in conjunction with this recall.
The FSIS is concerned that some consumers may still have these sausages in their refrigerators. If you purchased the recalled product, you should throw it away or return it.
