A company is recalling more than 24,000 pounds of chicken sausage after customers reported finding pieces of plastic inside some of the meat, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said this week.
Massachusetts-based Kayem Foods Inc. decided to voluntarily recall 24,173 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken sausage products that may be contaminated with plastic, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on Thursday.
The company notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) after three customers said they’d found plastic inside the food.
