Jacksonville residents should check their pantries for a specific brand of chicken sausage flagged in a public health alert from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The alert concerns canned chicken Vienna-style sausage products illegally imported into the United States from Jamaica.
Jamaica is not an eligible country for exporting meat or poultry products to the U.S., according to an FSIS news release. The affected products are 140-g cans of “GRACE READY TO EAT CHICKEN VIENNA SAUSAGES” and “GRACE READY TO EAT CHICKEN VIENNA SAUSAGES HOT & SPICY.” These products carry the establishment number “EST. NO G-01” within the Jamaica mark of inspection.
The importer distributed these sausages to retail locations across several states, including Florida. While no illnesses have been reported, the FSIS urges consumers to dispose of the products or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions can contact Sandra Campbell, owner, at 305-887-9523 or [email protected].
FSIS identified the issue during routine surveillance of imported products.
