Hillshire Farms Recalls Smoked Sausage

A few days ago, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service released a statement announcing that Hillshire Farms was recalling almost 16,000 pounds of smoked sausage because of possible extraneous material contamination. The company released the statement last Saturday, September 2, 2023, saying the material that supposedly contaminated the sausage were large fragments of bone. The company started getting complaints about customers finding bone fragments inside the product. One "oral injury" has been attributed to the recall so far.
