Baltimore’s Impero Foods & Meats, Inc., has recalled 7,485 lb. of raw pork sausage products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection, USDA announced.
The raw Italian pork sausage items were produced from Oct. 3 through Dec. 19. The following products are subject to recall:
- 10-lb. white cardboard box cases containing a plastic bag of “Old World Italian Sausage” with “rope” handwritten on the case.
- 10-lb. white cardboard box cases containing a plastic bag of “Old World Italian Sausage” with “link” handwritten on the case.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 10827” inside the USDA mark of inspection, USDA explained. These items were shipped to restaurants and retail locations in Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Some products may have been sold at retail deli counters without labels or other identification.
“The problem was discovered when FSIS was performing surveillance activities at a retailer after notification that items may have been produced at a facility that had a suspended grant of inspection. After further investigation, it was determined that the items were produced without the benefit of FSIS inspection,” USDA wrote.
Although there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
