Miami Gardens residents should check their pantries for two specific brands of canned chicken Vienna-style sausage flagged in a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) public health alert. The products were illegally imported into the United States from Jamaica, which is not an eligible country for exporting meat or poultry.
The alert covers 140-gram cans of "GRACE READY TO EAT CHICKEN VIENNA SAUSAGES" and "GRACE READY TO EAT CHICKEN VIENNA SAUSAGES HOT & SPICY." These items bear the establishment number "EST. NO G-01" within the Jamaica mark of inspection.
The importer distributed these products to retail locations in Florida and other states. The USDA discovered the issue during routine surveillance of imported products.
While no illnesses have been confirmed, the USDA urges consumers to dispose of the affected sausages or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions can contact Sandra Campbell, owner, at 305-887-9523 or [email protected].
