Indiana and Ohio—Ezzo Sausage Company in Columbus, Ohio is recalling approximately 25,000 pounds of sausage products because of possible Listeria contamination.
The ready-to-eat sausage products were produced on Oct. 29, Oct. 30, and Nov. 5, 2019 and shipped to distribution centers in Indiana and Ohio.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in distribution centers, restaurants, or institutional refrigerators or freezers. Restaurants and institutions that have purchased these products are urged not to serve them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 1838A” inside the USDA mark of inspection. Click here to see the product list.
A sample tested positive, prompting the recall. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns.
Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected.
