Impero Foods Recalls Raw Pork Sausage Produced Without Federal Inspection

Plain-English summary

Impero Foods & Meats, Inc., a Baltimore, Maryland establishment, is recalling approximately 7,485 pounds of raw pork sausage products. The recall involves 10-lb. white cardboard box cases containing plastic bags of “Old World Italian Sausage” with either “rope” or “link” handwritten on the case. These products bear establishment number “EST. 10827” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recall was initiated because the products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection. The raw Italian pork sausage items were produced from October 3, 2024, through December 19, 2024. The issue was discovered during FSIS surveillance activities at a retailer after notification that items may have been produced at a facility with a suspended grant of inspection. Subsequent investigation confirmed the items were produced without FSIS inspection.

The affected products were shipped to restaurants and retail locations in Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Some products may have been sold at retail deli counters without labels or other identification. FSIS has not received confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers should not consume the recalled products and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Retailers and restaurants are urged not to sell or serve these products.
