Plain-English summary

Grossglockner Inc., a Canandaigua, N.Y. establishment, is recalling approximately 204 pounds of fully cooked, not shelf stable, pork sausage banger products. The recall is due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The products were produced on July 5, 2016, and packaged on July 6, 2016. The firm affixed the incorrect label to the back of the products, which listed ingredients for Wiener Products rather than the Banger Sausage. Consequently, the label failed to declare breadcrumbs formulated with wheat, which are present in the product.

The affected product consists of 16-oz. vacuum-packed packages of Handcrafted by Joseph Brunner Wegmans Bangers 8% Bread Crumbs bearing lot number 18716 and a sell-by date of 08/24/2016. These items bear establishment number EST. M-6373 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were shipped to Wegmans stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia. The issue was discovered by Wegmans store personnel, who contacted the establishment, which then alerted the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of this product.
