Plain-English summary
Shirks Meats, a Dundee, New York establishment, is recalling approximately 1,062 pounds of Smoked Pork Andouille Sausage. The recall was initiated due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared allergen. The product consists of 30-lb. bags of smoked pork andouille sausage produced on November 26, 2014, and bears the establishment number EST. 18894 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The issue was identified when the company was notified by its spice supplier that the cumin in a spice mix used to formulate the sausage may have been contaminated with peanut allergens. Peanuts are a known allergen that was not declared on the product label. The recalled products were shipped to a firm in New York for further processing and distribution to retail locations.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who are concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider. The recall is classified as Class I, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
