A Northern California company has called back around 740 pounds of its sausage products which is apparently adulterated with life-risking toxins.
During a safety assessment, an FSIS inspector discovered that the water level in the sausages could have been high during production, facilitating the breeding of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin.
The United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service revealed on Thursday that Lee Bros. Foodservice Inc. of San Jose has recalled 16-ounce packages of Lee’s Sandwiches brand pork sausages produced on Feb. 11 with the identifying code “042P” and 16-ounce packages of pork and chicken sausages produced on Feb. 12 with the code “043PC.”
The sausages were being sold at outlets in Arizona as well. However, there have not been any case of illness reported yet.
