Summary

Bunge's Meats is recalling an undetermined amount of pork sausage products because they were made with water that failed to meet EPA drinking water standards. Third-party testing found that water samples used in the production process were positive for Coliform bacteria. Approximately 25 pounds of product were recovered following the discovery during a routine food safety assessment. The recalled items were produced between February 24, 2016, and September 15, 2016, and were shipped to restaurants in Pennsylvania.

Risk

The water used to formulate the sausage tested positive for Coliform bacteria, which indicates the water may be contaminated with organisms that can cause illness.
