Allergen Alert: Bratwurst Mistake in Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) has issued a public health alert concerning raw "Rueben Flavored Bratwurst" from Rackow Family Sausage in Juda, Wisconsin. The product, which mimics corned beef flavors with sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing, was found to have undeclared soy and eggs on its packaging. These misbranded items were sold frozen at the company's Juda location on or before July 9, 2026.

Approximately nine pounds of the affected product were sold. Rackow Family Sausage has requested that customers who purchased this bratwurst return it to the store. The alert is crucial for consumers with soy or egg allergies, ensuring they avoid consumption. While this specific product mislabeling has occurred, it's important to note that no illnesses have been reported to date. This incident follows a Class I recall issued in October 2020 for five summer sausage products from the same business, which were found to be produced without required state inspections.
