UNDATED (WTAQ) – A Milwaukee-based sausage company is recalling over 1,600 pounds of beef and pork products after someone reported being injured by foreign material inside a snack stick.
Testing by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service found bits of foreign material ranging in size from 1 to 4.88 millimeters in other unopened packages of the Klement’s Sausage Company product.
The investigation began after a person contacted the FSIS office in Des Moines, Iowa, to report a mouth injury from eating a snack stick.
The recalled product is one-ounce plastic packages containing two pieces of Klement’s Original Snack Sticks, Naturally Hardwood Smoked, No MSG Added, Gluten-Free. They were produced on May 13 and have a sell by date of Nov. 16, 2017, with a case code of 3262.
The snack sticks were distributed to vendors in Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa.
People who bought the snack sticks are advised to throw them away or return them to the store where they were purchased.
Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a health care provider.
