Jewel-Osco Pork Sausage Products Recalled for Lack of Import Inspection

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Jowett Farms Corporation is recalling approximately 42,587 pounds of Jewel-Osco brand pork sausage products because they were not presented for required import re-inspection when entering the United States. The raw pork trimmings were imported from Canada and processed into bratwurst and Italian sausage links sold in Illinois and Wisconsin. There have been no confirmed reports of illness or adverse reactions, but consumers are urged to check their freezers for these items.

Risk

Because these products skipped the mandatory U.S. food safety import inspection, the USDA cannot verify their safety for consumption, posing a potential risk of foodborne illness.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator or freezer for 20-oz. plastic wrapped tray packages of Jewel-Osco Sheboygan Brand Bratwurst, Mild Italian Sausage, or Hot Italian Sausage with a sell-by date of 4/17/20.
  2. Verify the establishment number 'EST. 7779' located inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product packaging.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer or supplier for further instructions.
  4. If you are concerned about a reaction or health issue after consuming these products, contact your healthcare provider.
  5. Call the USDA Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 for additional information regarding this recall.
