May 18, 2007- Kayem Foods Inc., a Chelsea, Mass., firm, is recalling
approximately 35,580 pounds of raw chicken sausage products due to the presence
of an undeclared allergen (wheat), the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety
and Inspection Service announced today.
The product label fails to list wheat, a potential known allergen, as an ingredient.
The following products are subject to recall:
- 1-pound packages of "al fresco, MANGO CHIPOTLE, sweet and
spicy CHICKEN SAUSAGE." Each label bears the establishment number
"P-18388" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The chicken sausage products were produced on various dates between April 16, 2005 and May 8, 2007
and were distributed to retail establishments and distribution warehouses in Connecticut, Florida, Illinois,
Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The problem was discovered by the company. FSIS has received no reports of illness
due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an allergic reaction
should contact a physician.

Relations Manager Scott Farmelant at (617) 939-6582. Consumers
