Plain-English summary
New York Style Sausage Co., a Sunnyvale, California establishment, is recalling approximately 4,040 pounds of pork sausage products due to misbranding. The products are encased in sheep casings, which are not declared on the product label and may elicit allergic reactions in individuals allergic to sheep proteins. The recalled items are 5-lb. and 10-lb. bulk boxes containing packages of Golden Gate Meat Company Ernestos Pork Sausage, produced between July 1, 2015, and January 7, 2016.
The issue was identified when a customer observed that the pork sausage labels did not declare the use of sheep casings. The establishment subsequently notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The products bear establishment number EST. 9027 inside the USDA mark of inspection and were produced for a single distributor in California for institutional use.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
