An announcement was made that Kenosha Beef International has recalled almost 90,000 pounds of Johnsonville brand sausages because the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service have received reports from consumers that metal shards have been found in the meat patties, according to HNGN on Thursday. The Food Safety and Inspection Service and Kenosha have not located the source of the metal through their investigation.
Pieces of metals have been found in the Johnsonville Grillers, cheddar cheese, and bacon flavor. Therefore, the company is recalling all those products sold in the 24-ounce and 13.5-pound cases. All products that may contain metal were produced on May 13, 2015. The cases of the recalled products bear the establishment number "EST. 425B" inside the USDA mark of inspection on the generic label and have a "best flavor date" Dec. 29, 2015 on the end flap of the package. All products were shipped to the following states listed in alphabetical order: Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin.
The Chicago Tribune reported that the recall has been classified as "Class I," indicating there is a reasonable probability that the consumption of the product will lead to serious adverse health consequences and even death. Four incidents have been reported, but no one has been injured or became ill.
If consumers have any of the recalled products, they are urged not to eat it. Instead, they should return the sausage for a full refund, or contact customer service by telephone (1-888-556-2728) or online at Johnsonville.com. The sausage company is headquartered in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin and was founded in 1945. Johnsonville Sausage is one of the largest sausage producers in the United States and the largest sausage brand by revenue in the United States. Johnsonville sausage is available in more than 35 countries.
