Another Sausage Recall Related to Listeria

A St. Louis sausage maker has recalled 750 pounds of product sold at its own retail meat counter after government tests detected Listeria monocytogenes.

The recall by T. Piekutowski European Style Sausage applies to various sizes of Krakow sausage wrapped in unmarked butcher paper with no label and no inspection mark from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall Dec. 25. The tainted product was made Dec. 18 and would have been purchased by consumers Dec. 18 or 19, the FSIS said. The problem was found through routine microbiological testing by FSIS inspectors.

Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can lead to listeriosis, an uncommon disease that is potentially fatal. Symptoms of listeriosis include severe headaches, neck stiffness, nausea and high fever. It can also cause stillbirth and miscarriage in pregnant women.
