Why this is serious

The recall is labeled as Class I, the most serious type. It means the product could cause serious health problems or even death.

Hard plastic pieces in food can cause choking, mouth cuts, stomach injury, or broken teeth, especially dangerous for kids and older people. FSIS said they are worried some sausage might still be in people’s fridges or freezers, as per the Newsweek report.

How to identify the recalled sausages

Sold in 11-ounce vacuum packs with four sausages per pack. The label says: “All Natural Al Fresco Chicken Sausage Sweet Apple with Vermont Made Syrup.” Check for lot code “179” and Use/Freeze by: October 1, 2025, on the back of the package.

Look for establishment number "P-7839" inside the USDA seal on the front bottom right corner. FSIS also shared product label images on their website to help people identify the recalled packs, as per the reports.
