WASHINGTON, March 19, 2010 - Perdue Farms, Inc., a Washington, Ind., establishment, is
recalling approximately 10,368 pounds of fresh sweet Italian turkey sausage products because they contain
an undeclared allergen. The product was prepared using an ingredient blend that contained milk, a known
potential allergen, which was not declared on the label, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety
and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The product subject to recall includes: [View Labels, PDF Only]
- 16-ounce packages of "PERDUE, Sweet Italian, Lean, Turkey Sausage." Each package bears a
use by date of "USE BY 03/30/10" or before, a UPC Code "72745-10301," and the establishment
number "Est. P-286" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The fresh sweet Italian turkey sausage products were produced between March 3, 2010, and March 15, 2010, and
were distributed to retail establishments in Fla., Ill., Ind., Ky., Md., Mo., N.J., N.Y., Ohio, Pa., and Va.
The problem was discovered by the company. The company and FSIS have received no reports of adverse reactions
due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an allergic reaction should contact a physician.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the
recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
