14 Tons Of Sausage Recalled Over Metal Pieces

USA Today reports:

The maker of Jimmy Dean Heat ’n Serve Original Sausage Links is recalling more than 14 tons of its frozen, ready-to-eat sausage links because they may have pieces of metal inside.

CTI Foods of Owingsville, Kentucky, is recalling about 29,028 pounds of Jimmy Dean Heat ‘n Serve Original Sausage Links Made with Pork & Turkey after the food maker received five complaints from consumers, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

CTI notified the agency Monday that consumers told the company they had found small, string-like fragments of metal in the product, CTI says in an update on the Jimmy Dean website. The privately-owned company is recalling the “small amount” of sausage links “out of an abundance of caution,” CTI said in the update.
