Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

German Sausage Haus, LLC is recalling approximately 1,252 pounds of various smoked meat and sausage products because of a possible processing deviation. This error may have allowed staphylococcal enterotoxin to contaminate the products, which can cause food poisoning. The affected frozen items were produced and packaged between June 14, 2017, and September 8, 2017, and were sold to retail stores and institutional users in Washington State.

Risk

A processing deviation may have led to the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and the production of staphylococcal enterotoxin. Consuming food contaminated with this toxin can lead to rapid onset of nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, and diarrhea.
