A list of stores where recalled Richard’s brand boudin sausage was sold has been released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA FSIS.) Carlton Foods of New Braunfels, Texas recalled approximately 25,764 pounds of fresh Boudin products on Oct. 30 because they were made with pre-cooked rice that may have experienced temperature abuse and could contain the toxin-producing bacteria Bacillus cereus.
