Smith Packing, LLC is recalling approximately 18,792 pounds of various ready-to-eat sausage and sliced meat products, including brands like As-Salaam, Honest John, and Smith Packing. The products contain sodium nitrite levels that exceed regulatory limits, which was discovered after consumers reported the meat had an unusual taste and color. These items were produced between February 19, 2025, and April 24, 2025, and shipped to retail and institutional locations in New York.
The products contain excessive levels of sodium nitrite, a preservative that can be toxic in high amounts. While no illnesses have been confirmed, consuming these products may cause adverse health reactions due to the chemical overage.
