Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Impero Foods & Meats, Inc. is recalling approximately 7,485 pounds of raw pork sausage because the products were produced without federal inspection. The items were made between October 3, 2024, and December 19, 2024, at a facility whose grant of inspection had been suspended. Consumers should check their refrigerators and freezers for these products and return them to the place of purchase for a refund or throw them away.

Risk

Products produced without inspection may contain harmful bacteria or other contaminants that could cause foodborne illness if the meat is mishandled or undercooked. While no illnesses have been reported, federal safety standards could not be verified for these specific batches.

What You Should Do

  1. Check for 10-lb. white cardboard box cases of "Old World Italian Sausage" with either "rope" or "link" handwritten on the case.
  2. Look for the establishment number "EST. 10827" inside the USDA mark of inspection on the label.
  3. Identify if you purchased raw Italian sausage from a retail deli counter between October 2024 and December 2024, as some affected products may have been sold without labels.
  4. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact Impero Foods & Meats, Inc. at 443-695-5750 or jerry@imperofoods.com for further instructions.
  5. Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 for additional questions.
