Sausage Recall: Earle of Sausage Smokeys

The USDA-FSIS has announced a sausage recall.  Earle of Sausage, a Minnesota entity, has recalled about 330 pounds of ready-to-eat sausage, "Earle of Sausage Smokeys."  The recalled sausages may be contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin, a bacterium that causes gastroenteritis. 

The following products are subject to recall:

  • 1-pound and 6-ounce packages of "EARLE OF SAUSAGE SMOKEYS." Each package bears the establishment number "EST. 31844" inside the USDA seal of inspection and a freeze-by-date of between "5/12/07 and 7/27/07."
The sausages were produced between Jan. 12 and March 29, 2007 and were distributed through gas stations primarily in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. FSIS has received no reports of illness from consumption of these products.

The problem was discovered by FSIS. Common symptoms of ingesting products with Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramping.
