WASHINGTON – Kenosha Beef International LTD is recalling approximately 89,235 lbs. of pork sausage patty products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, the US Dept. of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) reported.
The problem was discovered after the Kenosha, Wis.-based establishment began receiving consumer complaints that small pieces of metal were being found in the products used to make a line of sausage products for a customer, Sheyboygan Falls, Wis.-based Johnsonville Sausage. The source of the foreign material is unknown at this time.
