Tibor's Gourmet, a Palmdale, Calif., establishment, is recalling approximately 200 pounds of ready-to-eat smoked pork sausage products because they were produced without the benefit of federal inspection, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.The following Tibor Gourmet products are subject to recall:
• Ready To Eat Gourmet Hungarian Brand Mild Smoked Sausage

Each package bears the establishment number ST. 44866 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were produced between Mar. 25, 2013, and May 2, 2013, and shipped to a retail chain in Los Angeles and Orange counties.
The problem was discovered by an FSIS investigation, during which the product was found in a retail location. The company was in the process of obtaining federal inspection, but had not received a Grant of Inspection.
FSIS has received no reports of illness due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that recalled product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website www.fsis.usda.gov/FSIS_Recalls/Open_Federal_Cases/index.asp
