Minnesota Bratwurst Recall Due to Possible Listeria Contamination
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has advised consumers to avoid smoked pork and beef bratwurst produced by J&B Meats of Barnesville, Minnesota, with the lot number PBB30306, and Minnesota State Establishment Number 1198. The recalled beef and pork bratwurst may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.
The bratwurst was sold at the J&B Meats retail store in Barnesville. The contamination was found during a routine test, and the Department of Agriculture has not reported any related illnesses. Because some of the sausages were frozen when sold, it is possible for Listeria cases associated with the recalled bratwurst to surface months from now.
