Incorrect brand name and undeclared allergens are the reasons for the recall of beef sausages

Perdue Premium Meat Company, Inc., trading as Alexander & Hornung, a Saint Clair Shores, MI company, has recalled approximately 3,204 pounds of fully cooked beef sausage products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety Administration and Inspection Service (FSIS ).

The product may actually contain smoked sausage that contains milk, a known allergen that is not stated on the wiener product label.

The ready-cooked beef sausages were made on May 3, 2023. The following product is subject to the recall:

• 2 lbs. Vacuum sealed packages marked “BROOKSIDE BRAND FULLY COOKED NATURAL CASING BEEF WIENERS” with batch code 3121, carton code 07658 and sale date 01.08.23.

The errors were discovered when the company informed FSIS that one of its customers reported receiving products labeled ‘Beef Sausages’ in boxes labeled ‘Hot Smoked Sausage’. It was then discovered that the vacuum-sealed packages labeled ‘Beef Sausages’ contained the smoked sausages.

There are no confirmed reports of side effects from consuming these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness reviews to ensure that the recalling companies are notifying their customers of the recall and that steps are being taken to ensure the product is no longer available to consumers. The retail distribution lists are published on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls as soon as it is available.

FSIS is concerned some products may be in consumers’ refrigerators. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be discarded or returned to the point of sale.
