The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced that WFSP Foods LLC, an establishment in Decatur, Georgia, is is recalling approximately 18,672 pounds of pork and chicken sausage products due to undeclared allergens and misbranding. The products contain milk, a known allergen which is undeclared on the product label.

The FSIS has designated this a Class I Recall of High Health Risk.

The USDA said the ready-to-eat sausage items were produced on June 7, 2016.

The following product is subject to recall:

• 13.5-oz. packages containing “Land O’ Frost Simply Savory Bacon & Cheddar Smoked Sausage” with a “BEST BY: DEC. 04 2016” and packaging date of 06/07/16.
  

The was shipped to retail locations nationwide and bears establishment number “EST. 45411” printed on the packaging. 

The USDA said the problem was discovered in a retail store by a company rep and immediately reported to the Food Safety and Inspection Service. The label on the front of the product correctly identifies that it contains cheese. But the label in the back does not include cheddar cheese as an ingredient – the source of milk. Therefore, milk isn't included in the ingredients statement or in the “Contains” allergen declaration.

The USDA said there have not been any confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to eating these products. The USDA suggests that anyone concerned about illness or injury should contact a healthcare provider.

They also urge consumers who bought the recalled item not to consume it; instead they should discard the product or return it to the place of purchase.

Consumers with questions about the recall can contact the Land O’ Frost Consumer Hotline, at 1(800) 762-9865.
