Olympia Provisions from Portland, OR, has recalled about 1,930 pounds of its ready-to-eat holiday kielbasa sausages. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced this due to potential metal contamination.
Consumers are advised not to eat this product if they’ve purchased it. The kielbasa was produced on October 14. The specific item in question is:
- 16-ounce vacuum-sealed packages labeled “OLYMPIA PROVISIONS UNCURED HOLIDAY KIELBASA,” with a “BEST IF USED BY” date of “02/19/26.”
You can find the establishment number “EST. 39928” inside the USDA inspection mark on the package. These sausages were distributed to stores in California, Oregon, and Washington, as well as through online sales nationwide.
The recall came after a consumer reported finding metal in the product. So far, there have been no injuries linked to this issue. However, anyone worried about their health should reach out to a healthcare professional.
It’s worth noting that food recalls are not uncommon. In the last year, the FDA reported over 100 recalls related to contaminants and foreign materials. This highlights the importance of food safety and consumer vigilance. Being aware of recalls and checking your pantry can help you stay safe.
