Holiday Sausage Recalled: Metal Fragments Found
23 Dec
Summary
- 1,930 pounds of holiday sausage recalled due to metal fragments.
- Recall affects meat distributed in California, Oregon, Washington and nationwide.
- No injuries reported, but FSIS warns of long shelf life.
Olympia Provisions has issued a recall for roughly 1,930 pounds of its ready-to-eat "UNCURED HOLIDAY KIELBASA." The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced this Class I recall on December 19, 2025, citing the potential presence of metal or other fragments within the sausage. This contamination poses a serious risk to consumers.
The recalled product, packaged in 16-ounce vacuum-sealed pouches, was manufactured on October 14, 2025, with a "BEST IF USED BY" date of February 19, 2026, and carries the establishment number "EST. 39928." The issue came to light after a consumer contacted the Portland, Oregon-based company. While no injuries have been confirmed, officials are concerned due to the product's extended shelf life.
The affected kielbasa was distributed to retail locations in California, Oregon, and Washington, and also shipped to online customers nationwide. Consumers are advised to immediately discard any recalled sausage or return it to the point of purchase for a full refund. For those who believe they may have suffered an injury, contacting a healthcare provider is recommended.
