Dearborn Brand Sausage is undergoing a recall for their ready-to-eat wieners that were produced on August 7th, 2024.
Dearborn Brand is a meat-based production company. This company is a family business that has been around for over 75 years that focuses mainly on franks, sausages, and hams. One their site, they claim to pride themselves on quality meat, and have stores located in the northeast central United States and Canada.
This recall is a case of misbranding due to an accidental swap in labeling for two of their products which resulted in undeclared allergens in the market. The pork labeled product has contains the beef product with soy. Additionally, the beef labeled product contains pork. Soy, being one of the common allergens, and pork being kosher in the Jewish faith makes this a big deal. Over 1900lb of ready to eat wieners of beef and pork are being recalled from the state of Ohio.
This report comes one month after the production and distribution of the wieners. Reasonably, The Food Safety and Inspection Service is worried that consumers that may have issues with the product may have purchased and are storing the wieners now. It’s important that the word is spread to their customers and the retailers that carry their products.
