Plain-English summary

SP Wholesale Meats, a Portland, Oregon establishment, is recalling approximately 1,729 pounds of raw pork and chicken sausage products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The affected products contain wheat, a known allergen that is not declared on the product label. The recall includes specific lots of Cascade Farms Chicken Apple Sausage, Don Felipe's Tolucan Brand Chorizo Verde, Chorizo Rojo, and Chicken Chorizo.

The issue was identified after SP Wholesale Meats received notice of an FDA recall involving Oregon Spice Co. regarding the presence of wheat/gluten in oregano. This oregano was formulated into the recalled sausage products. The items were shipped to restaurants in Oregon and Washington. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
