Dearborn Sausage Company,Burley Garcia Inc., a producer of meat products including sausages, franks, ham and turkey, jerky and deli meats, has issued a recall of nearly 2,000 pounds of product due to undeclared allergens, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) said Thursday.

According to the recall notice, the labels for two ready-to-eat (RTE) wiener products were swapped, resulting in soy, a common allergen, and pork going undeclared on the packaging.

Dearborn was notified of the switch after a retailer complained that beef wiener products had been mislabeled as beef and pork, and vice versa. The packages labeled incorrectly as "beef and pork" contain soy, which does not appear on the nutrition information, and the packages mislabeled as just "beef" actually contain pork as well.

The Michigan-based company said the products were shipped specifically to retail locations in Ohio.

What Dearborn Sausage Company products are recalled?

According to the USDA, 1,944 pounds of ready-to-eat wiener products made on Aug. 7, 2024, are subject to recall. These include:

  • 2-lb. vacuum-sealed packages of “BROOKSIDE BRAND FULLY COOKED NATURAL CASING BEEF WIENERS” that may contain undeclared pork with lot code A0122024 and sell by date 11/05/2024.
  • 2-lb. vacuum-sealed packages of “BROOKSIDE BRAND NATURAL CASING FULLY COOKED WIENERS” that may contain undeclared soy with lot code A0322024 and sell by date 11/05/2024.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 10002” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

What to do if you have a recalled product

Consumers who have purchased these products should not consume them and should instead throw them away or return them to the place of purchase, said the USDA. Retailers who have the products in stock are likewise advised not to sell them.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions linked to these products, but anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact their healthcare provider.
