Plain-English summary
Bourgeois Smokehouse, a Thibodaux, Louisiana establishment, is recalling approximately 100 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) smoked andouille sausage products. The products were produced on May 12, 2025, and weighed, wrapped, and labeled in-store at the time of purchase. Because they were labeled in-store, the products do not bear an establishment number or the USDA mark of inspection.
The recall was initiated after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) performed routine product testing and confirmed the products were positive for Listeria monocytogenes. The items were shipped to Rouses Market retail locations in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, and have been available for purchase since May 13, 2025. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. 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. Persons in higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and inform their healthcare provider about the consumption.
