WASHINGTON, DC, United States (UPI) -- A U.S. firm has announced the recall of 330-pounds of ready-to-eat sausage products that might be contaminated with a dangerous toxin.
Earle of Sausage, a Willernie, Minn., business, initiated the voluntary recall because the sausage products might contain Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin, the U.S. Department of Agriculture`s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced.
The products being recalled are 1-pound and 6-ounce packages of 'EARLE OF SAUSAGE SMOKEYS.' Each package bears the establishment number 'EST. 31844' inside the U.S. Department of Agriculture seal of inspection and a freeze-by-date of between '5/12/07 and 7/27/07.'
The FSIS said the sausages that were produced between Jan. 12 and March 29 were distributed through gas stations primarily in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. Common symptoms caused by food products with Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramping.
Consumers with questions can contact the company at 651-633-1601.
