Fried sausage

Sausage lovers, it’s time to prepare yourself for some devastating news. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), there’s a new recall on turkey sausage products—and, it’s one you need to be aware of as soon as possible.

As noted in a March 7 recall notice, the FSIS reports that Salm Partners, LLC, has recalled 35,430 pounds of the popular Johnsonville turkey kielbasa sausage due to potential contamination with foreign materials. The variety of sausage included in the recall is listed to be the 12-ounce vacuum-packed, single piece of Johnsonville Polish Kielbasa Turkey Sausage, and the issue was discovered when complaints were received from consumers about finding pieces of rubber in their ready-to-eat product.
