New York Style Sausage Co. Recalls Pork Products Due To Misbranding

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

New York Style Sausage Co. is recalling approximately 4,040 pounds of Golden Gate Meat Company Ernesto’s Pork Sausage sold in 5-lb. and 10-lb. bulk boxes. These products were produced between July 1, 2015, and January 7, 2016, and were distributed for institutional use in California. The recall was issued because the sausages are encased in sheep casings that are not declared on the product label, which can cause an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals.

Risk

The product contains sheep protein from the casings which is not listed in the ingredients, posing a risk of potentially serious allergic reactions for people with sheep protein allergies. While no adverse reactions have been confirmed, the misbranding was identified after a customer noticed the undeclared ingredient.
