WASHINGTON, Sep 24, 2009 - Frick's Quality Meats, a Washington, Mo., establishment, is recalling approximately 756 pounds of Braunschweiger liver sausage products because they were inadvertently packaged with a premium bologna label and contain undeclared milk ingredients. Milk is a known potential allergen that is not declared on the label.
The following product is subject to recall: [View Label]
- 16-ounce chubs of "FRICK'S, QUALITY MEATS SINCE 1896, PREMIUM BOLOGNA, POULTRY FREE." Each chub package bears "USE BY: DEC 15-09" and the establishment number "EST. 2949" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The Braunschweiger liver sausage products were produced on Aug. 13, 2009, and were distributed to retail stores in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee.
Once available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/FSIS_Recalls/

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