Maryland, US company recalls more than 7,000 lbs of raw pork sausage

Impero Foods & Meats, based in Baltimore, Maryland, the United States, recently has to recall approximately 7,485 lbs of raw pork sausage products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection, announced the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) on December 20.

The problem was discovered when FSIS officials conducted surveillance at a retail operation after notification that items may have been produced at a processing plant that had a suspended grant of inspection. After further investigation, it was determined some items were made without the benefit of FSIS inspection.

The raw Italian pork sausage items were produced from October 3, 2024, through December 19, 2024. Affected items were shipped to restaurants and retail locations in Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Some products may have been sold at retail deli operations without labels or other identification.                

The agency said there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of the products.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in retailers' or restaurants' refrigerators or freezers.
