WASHINGTON, May 14, 2009 - Wayne Provision Co., a Vernon, Calif., establishment, is recalling approximately 2,075 pounds of frozen pork sausage products because they may contain undeclared allergens, hydrolized soy and whey, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. Hydrolized soy and whey are known allergens, which are not declared on the label.

The following products are subject to recall: [View Label]
  • 5-pound bags of 1.6-ounce bulk links of "BREAKFAST SAUSAGE."
  • 5-pound bags of bulk "BREAKFAST SAUSAGE."

Each label bears the establishment number "EST. 4187" inside the USDA mark of inspection. There are no package or case codes. The frozen pork sausage products were produced between August 2008 and April 2009, and were shipped to restaurants in southern California and the Las Vegas, Nev., area.

The problem was discovered by FSIS during a routine product inspection. FSIS has received no reports of illness due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an allergic reaction should contact a physician.
