WASHINGTON, July 1, 2023 – Perdue Premium Meat Company, Inc., doing business as Alexander & Hornung, a Saint Clair Shores, Michigan company, is recalling approximately 3,204 pounds of fully cooked beef sausages due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Safety Notice and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product may actually contain smoked sausage that contains milk, a known allergen that is not listed on the wiener product label.
The fully cooked wieners were made on May 3, 2023. The following product is subject to a recall [view label]:
- 2 lbs. Vacuum-sealed packages marked “BROOKSIDE BRAND FULLY COOKED NATURAL CASING BEEF WIENERS” with batch number 3121, package number 07658 and best before date 01.08.23.
The product affected by the recall bears the operation number “EST 10125” in the USDA Mark. These items were shipped to retail locations throughout Ohio.
The issue was discovered when the facility informed FSIS that one of their customers reported receiving products labeled “Beef Sausages” in boxes labeled “Hot Smoked Sausage”. It was then discovered that the vacuum-sealed packages labeled ‘Beef Sausages’ contained the smoked sausages.
There are no confirmed reports of side effects from consuming these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned some products may be in consumers’ refrigerators. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be discarded or returned to the point of sale.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness reviews to ensure that the recalling companies are notifying their customers of the recall and that steps are being taken to ensure the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, retail distribution lists will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
