Johnsonville’s parent company, Salm Partners, LLC, a Denmark, Wis., issued the recall after customers complained about finding pieces of rubber in some of the ready-to-eat sausages, the release said.
The release stated, “There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions or injury due to consumption of these products.”
The release said anyone who is concerned after eating some of the recalled sausages should call a doctor. Federal inspectors were concerned that some of the contaminated products were in consumer refrigerators around the county. If that is the case, throw away any contaminated sausage or return it to the store where it was purchased.
