Plain-English summary
Kayem Foods Inc., a Chelsea, Massachusetts establishment, is recalling approximately 22,182 pounds of chicken sausage products. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on January 16, 2016. The specific product involved is 12-oz. vacuum-packed packages of al fresco SWEET APPLE CHICKEN SAUSAGE, produced on November 4, 2015, and bearing the identification code 308 BW12 USE/FRZ BY FEB 7, 2016.
The recall is due to misbranding. The products bear incorrect nutritional labeling information, listing data for a different product (al fresco Apple Maple Breakfast sausages). Additionally, the sausages are encased in pork casings, which are not declared on the label. This undeclared ingredient may elicit allergic reactions in individuals allergic to pork proteins.
The products were shipped to retail locations nationwide. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of this product. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Brenda Navaroli, Customer Service Manager, at 1-(800) 426-6100. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
