**WASHINGTON, February 17, 2015 –** Michigan Brand, Inc., a Bay City, Mich., establishment is recalling approximately 4,287 pounds of pork sausage products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product contains hydrolyzed soy protein, a known allergen, which is not declared on the products labels. 

The following products are subject to recall: \[[Labels](http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/wcm/connect/95a38206-982e-47d9-ad21-1631fc3d7822/032-2015-labels.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&ref=foodconsumer.org) (PDF Only)\]
