Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ezzo Sausage Company is recalling approximately 25,115 pounds of various sausage products, including pepperoni and sausage toppings, due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The recalled items were produced between October 29, 2019, and November 5, 2019, and bear establishment number EST. 1838A inside the USDA mark of inspection. While no illnesses have been reported, consumers should not serve or eat these products and should return them to the place of purchase for a refund.

Risk

The products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause listeriosis, a serious and sometimes fatal infection. This infection primarily poses a high risk to older adults, pregnant women and their newborns, and individuals with weakened immune systems, potentially causing miscarriages, stillbirths, or severe flu-like symptoms.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the product label for establishment number 'EST. 1838A' inside the USDA mark of inspection to see if your product is affected.
  2. Review the lot codes printed on your packaging. Look for codes 102919, 103019, or 110519. See the Affected Products section below for the full list of affected codes.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
  4. If you have consumed these products and experience flu-like symptoms within two months, seek medical care and inform your provider about the potential exposure.
  5. For media or consumer questions, contact Darryl Thompson, V.P. Business Development at Ezzo Sausage Company, at (614) 445-8841.
