140 tons of hot dog and sausages recalled from the US market
More than 140 tons of ready-to-eat hot dog and sausages produced by Kent Quality Foods between September 9, 2017, and April 29, 2018, were recalled from the US market due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen.
"The problem was discovered on May 12 by the establishment during product inventory activities. The establishment noticed that the label for the spice mixture used in the production of one of their Beef Polish sausage contained hydrolyzed soy protein as an ingredient. However, the Beef Polish Sausage does not list the soy ingredient on the finish product label. Although the Beef Polish sausage product is the only product that is formulated with the spice mix containing the soy ingredient, there are several other ready-to-eat sausages and hot dog products that are implicated in this recall action due to potential cross-contamination via shared equipment during the raw and ready-to-eat processing steps", reported the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The items were shipped to distribution and restaurant locations nationwide. The restaurants cook and prepare the product for consumers, who may take the product home as leftovers. FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. Until now, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
