WASHINGTON, February 10, 2010 - Schmalz European Provisions, a Springfield,
N.J., establishment, is recalling approximately 1,485 pounds of ready-to-eat
sausage products that may contain foreign materials, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The product subject to recall includes: [View Label]
*12-ounce packages of "Applegate Farms CERTIFIED ORGANIC FIRE ROASTED RED PEPPER
FULLY COOKED CHICKEN & TURKEY SAUSAGE." Each package also indicates "KEEP
REFRIGERATED" and "SKINLESS" on the label.
Each package has a USE BY/FREEZE BY date of February 28, 2010 and "Heating
Instructions" on the back of the label. Also, the products bear the
establishment number "P-5411" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products
were produced on January 7, 2010 and were distributed to retailers in
California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, and Texas.
The problem was discovered after the company reported consumer complaints about
finding plastic materials in the product. FSIS has not received any consumer
complaints or reports of injury at this time. Anyone concerned about an injury
from consumption of this product should contact a physician.
