Plain-English summary

Taylor's Sausage, Inc., a Cave Junction, Oregon establishment, is recalling approximately 74 pounds of ready-to-eat Landjaeger sausage products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall on July 13, 2024. The product contains soy, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

The affected items are 14.4 oz. vacuum-packed packages containing 12 pieces of "TAYLOR'S Sausage Hot LANDJAEGER" with lot code "23342-2" and a use-by date of "12 8 25".

The products bear establishment number "EST. 6172" inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to retail locations in California and Oregon.

The issue was identified during routine FSIS in-plant verification activities when personnel observed that soy was used as an ingredient but not listed on the label.

Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
