Plain-English summary
Courage Production, LLC., a Fairfield, California establishment, is recalling approximately 1,645 pounds of ready-to-eat, fully cooked Polish sausage products. The recall is due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared allergen. The products contain milk (mozzarella cheese), which is not declared on the product label.
The affected items are labeled as “TETON WATERS RANCH POLISH SAUSAGE” and were produced on October 9, 2020. Specifically, the recall covers 10-oz. vacuum-packed packages of four sausages with lot code “202831,” a “Use or Freeze By: JAN/8/21” date, and establishment number “Est. 6024” on the packaging. These products were shipped to retail locations in California, Colorado, Indiana, Maryland, Maine, New York, and Oregon.
The issue was identified after a customer complaint noted that the product contained red bell peppers and mozzarella cheese, neither of which were listed on the label. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased this product are urged not to consume it and should throw it away or return it to the place of purchase.
