Summary

Johnsonville, LLC is recalling approximately 48,371 pounds of frozen raw ground pork patty products due to reports of black rubber in the meat. The recall includes 24-ounce cartons of Johnsonville Grillers Cheddar Cheese & Bacon Flavor produced in late 2018. The company discovered the issue after receiving three consumer complaints, though no injuries or adverse reactions have been confirmed at this time. Consumers who have these products in their freezers should not eat them and instead return them for a refund or throw them away.
