WASHINGTON, Dec. 2, 2008 - DeNunzio's Sausage, an Elmira, New York establishment,
is recalling approximately 36,388 pounds of ready-to-eat Polish Kielbasa sausage products because
they may contain an undeclared allergen, soy protein, the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Food
Safety and Inspection Service announced today. Soy protein is a known allergen, which is not
declared on the label.
The following products are subject to recall:
- 1-pound, 2-pound, and 4-pound jars of "DeNunzio POLISH KIELBASA, FULLY COOKED, READY TO EAT, PACKED IN VINEGAR."
Each label bears "Est. 18523" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The sausage products were
produced on various dates between March 13 and Nov. 26, and were shipped to distributors in New York
and Pennsylvania for further distribution to retail establishments.
The problem was discovered by a routine FSIS inspection. FSIS has received no reports of illness due
to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an allergic reaction should contact a physician.
Media and consumers with questions about the recall should contact company owner James DeNunzio
at (607) 732-2131.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual
representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov.
The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is
available in English and Spanish and can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern
Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a
day. |
