Plain-English summary
Star Natural Meats, LLC, an Astoria, N.Y. establishment, is recalling approximately 20,000 pounds of raw, non-intact pork sausage products. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on August 3, 2018. The products are identified as LOUKANIKO GREEK BRAND MADE IN THE U.S.A. pork sausage and bear establishment number EST. 48109 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The recall is due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The products contain milk and soy, which are known allergens not declared on the label. Additionally, the products contain restricted ingredients, specifically sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate, which are also not declared on the finished product label. The items were produced on various dates from February 23, 2017, to August 3, 2018, and were shipped to retail locations in Astoria, N.Y. The problem was discovered by FSIS Inspection Program Personnel during routine label verification tasks.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS is concerned that some product may still be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers.
