Venus Foods Inc., is recalling approximately 25,380 pounds of pork sausage products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.
The products contain wheat, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
The sausage items were produced on various dates from June 4, 2014 to May 26, 2015, and the following products are subject to recall:
30-lb. cases containing packages of “Uncle Lin Sausage Original Sausage.”
30-lb. cases containing packages of “Uncle Lin Sausage Spicy Pork Sausage.”
30-lb. cases containing packages of “Uncle Lin Sausage Sweet Pork Sausage.”
The products subject to recall bear the establishment number “EST. 6292” inside the U.S.D.A. mark of inspection. These items produced were shipped to restaurant locations in California.
The problem was discovered during a routine label review by FSIS personnel.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact their healthcare provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
