Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for approximately 51 pounds of ready-to-eat Hawaiian-style summer sausage products. The alert was issued because the products may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically pieces of metal. The products were produced by Swiss Processing Plant, Inc. on November 18, 2021, and bear establishment number “EST. 2969.”

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. FSIS issued the alert out of caution to ensure consumers are aware that the products should not be consumed.
