WASHINGTON, Aug. 29, 2003—CEI Enterprises Inc., a
Brooklyn, N.Y., import firm, is voluntarily recalling approximately 88
pounds of pork sausage because of mislabeling, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.
The sausage product contains chicken, but it is
not declared on the product label.
The products being recalled are approximately 1 ¼
lb. vacuum sealed packages of "CROWN EAGLE INTERNATIONAL, HUNTER’S SAUSAGE,
Product of Canada." The Canadian establishment number "332" is inside the
mark of inspection.
Each product also contains a sticker with a use
by date of "03 SE 21."
The products were produced on Aug. 14, 2003 and
distributed to a retail store in Brooklyn, New York.
The problem was discovered through a FSIS
laboratory test.
Consumers and media with questions about the
recall may contact Alec Preisman, company CEO, at (718) 788-3555.
Consumers with other food safety questions can
phone the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888 MPHOTLINE. The
