The ready-to-eat pork and beef Polish sausage and raw pork and beef potato sausage items were produced from Oct. 30, 2024, through Jan. 7, 2025.
The following products are subject to recall [view labels]: 5'' x 8'' vacuum-sealed packages containing "Otto Meyer's Premium Sausage POLISH SAUSAGE" with lot codes 24304, 24318, 24326, 24346 on a sticker.
Bulk packed in 12'' x 24'' clear bags containing "Otto Meyer's Premium Sausage POTATO SAUSAGE" with dates 1/6/25 and 1/7/25 handwritten on the label.
The products subject to recall bear the establishment number "EST. M1733" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
Those items were shipped to a restaurant and retail location in Michigan and a retail location in Wisconsin.
The problem was discovered during routine FSIS in-plant verification activities when FSIS personnel observed that soy, a known allergen, was being used as an ingredient and was not declared on the finished product label.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers', retailers', and restaurants' refrigerators or freezers.
Restaurants, retailers, and consumers who have purchased those products are urged not to serve, sell, or consume them.
Those products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to ensure that the product is no longer available to consumers.
The retail distribution lists will be posted here on the FSIS website.
