FSIS is concerned that some of this product could be in consumers’ home freezers or refrigerators. The USDA is conducting retail effectiveness checks to make sure that the product is no longer available for consumers to buy. If a retail distribution list is distributed, it will be posted on the USDA web site.
Please check your refrigerator and freezer carefully to see if you purchased this item with that lot code, use by date, time stamp, and USDA establishment number. If you have it, do not eat it. You can throw the sausage away in a secure trash can after first double bagging it, or you can take it back to the store where you bought it for a full refund.
