The agency’s classification
USDA FSIS: Public Health Alert
Public Health Alert is a warning FSIS issues when there is a food-safety concern but a recall is not requested, typically because the affected product is no longer available for purchase.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (milk) with no reported illnesses, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria in the rubric.
Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for Goulart’s Smoked Linguica Links and Goulart’s Smoked Linguica Links Hot. The alert was issued because the ready-to-eat pork sausage products may contain milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the finished product label. FSIS did not request a formal recall because the products are no longer available for purchase, but some units may remain in consumers' refrigerators or freezers.
The affected products were produced between January 8, 2021, and February 6, 2023, and bear establishment number EST. 8262. They were sold in plastic vacuum-wrapped packages through retail locations in California. The issue was discovered during routine inspection activities when FSIS observed the establishment adding nonfat dry milk to an ingredient in the products without updating the label to reflect this change.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers with a dairy allergy who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
