Plain-English summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for 77 pounds of raw pork sausage products sold by New York Style Sausage Co. in Sunnyvale, California. The products are misbranded because they contain sesame seed, an allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

The affected items are 16-oz. plastic wrapped packages of Shannon Valley Irish Brand Jumbo Pub Style Pork Bangers and Shannon Valley Traditional Irish Brand Pork Bangers. These products were produced on October 15, 2019, and bear establishment number EST. 9027. They were shipped to a distributor for direct sales to consumers in California. The issue was discovered during routine inspection label verification activities.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. FSIS is concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers' freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
