The U.S. Department of Agriculture?s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has recently announced that a Texas-based meat producer is recalling 410,985 pounds (186 tonnes) of beef brisket smoked sausage products due to an adulterated and misbranded ingredient.
The undeclared ingredient is the pork casing that the product contains and it may cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.
The ready-to-eat beef brisket smoked sausage products were produced on various dates from June 21, 2016, to May 29, 2018, and were shipped to retail locations in Texas.
The problem was discovered on June 12, 2018, in response to a customer inquiry that a beef smoked sausage product did not specify pork casing as part of the ingredients statement.
