Sheikh Halal Beef and Poultry Sausages Recalled for Possible Temperature Abuse

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Alef Sausage Inc. is recalling approximately 61,574 pounds of ready-to-eat Sheikh brand halal meat and poultry sausage products produced between 2018 and April 2023. These products were missing a required refrigeration label, which led to them being stored at unsafe room temperatures in retail environments. While no illnesses have been reported, consuming meat that has not been properly refrigerated can lead to foodborne illness. The products were sold in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

Risk

The sausages are not shelf-stable and require constant refrigeration; because the packaging lacked handling instructions, the products were subject to temperature abuse, which can allow the growth of harmful bacteria.
