Neto’s Sausage Co. Inc. has recalled more than 7,600 pounds of beef, pork and chicken products that were manufactured in the past year without being inspected by USDA.
The Santa Clara, Calif., company issued the Class I “high risk” recall Jan. 6 for 23 different sausage products that were distributed online nationwide. Although the products carry a federal inspection mark, they were not actually inspected.
Neto’s website was “temporarily offline” the evening of Jan. 6.
“The sausage items were produced on Dec. 28, 2014, to Dec. 28, 2015. The recalled products bear establishment number “EST. 9027” and “EST 6086” inside the USDA mark of inspection,” according to the recall notice.
Neto’s also distributed the products “in house” and to a local distributor, according to the recall notice on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service website.
“The problem was discovered during routine FSIS in-commerce surveillance activities,” according to the recall notice. “There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
“These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.”
The USDA defines a Class I recall as being a “health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.”
