A recall was issued for more than 2,300 pounds of raw, frozen pork breakfast sausage over a potential plastic contamination, according to federal officials.
Illinois-based Fontanini Foods LLC recalled about 2,320 pounds of raw, frozen pork breakfast sausage links that may be contaminated with foreign material, specifically clear, hard plastic, the Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced last week.
The affected breakfast sausage items were produced on June 23 and shipped to distributors in California, Florida, Michigan and Nevada for distribution to restaurants and other food service establishments.
