The Food Safety and Inspection Service said a recall of over 35,400 pounds of Johnsonville turkey kielbasa sausages started late last week. Salm Partners launched the recall in response to the possibility the affected products "may be contaminated with foreign materials, specifically pieces of rubber," according to the FSIS. Consumer complaints brought the issue to the company’s attention.
Retail distribution centers in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, North Carolina, Iowa, Kansas and Minnesota had received shipments of the recalled links, according to Johnsonville. "Johnsonville communicated with its retail partners to remove the affected product from their stores immediately, should any affected product yet be in stores," the company said.
