Plain-English summary

Asian Jade Customs Brokerage, a Springfield Gardens, N.Y. firm, is recalling approximately 762 pounds of imported sausage products. The recall involves heat-treated, shelf-stable, ready-to-eat dried pork sausage items imported on June 3, 2016. The specific product is 5.29-lb. cases containing 4.23-oz. plastic wrapped packages of SOKOLOW PORK KABANOS/ KABANOSY FRANCUSKLE.

The products were not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection, meaning they did not receive the benefit of full inspection.

The items were produced between May 18 and 20, 2016, in Poland, and distributed to retail locations in New Jersey and New York.

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.
