Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Interbay Food Company, LLC, a Woodinville, Washington establishment, is recalling approximately 4,820 pounds of pork Banger-style sausage products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The affected products are "The British Pantry Ltd., British Style Bangers" in 1-lb. refrigerated packages (5 or 16 links per package) and 5-lb. logs. The products contain milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the products' label.

The products were cooked in a Redmond, Washington restaurant and sold to the general public. They were produced using bread crumbs from a vendor who listed wheat, soy, and milk on the label. Although the bangers' label listed wheat and soy, it did not list milk. The products were produced between March 17, 2014, and September 8, 2014, and bear the establishment number "Est. 6267" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The problem was discovered by an FSIS inspector who saw that the products were incorrectly labeled.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider. Consumers with food safety questions can contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 or visit AskKaren.gov.
