Olympia Provisions from Portland, OR, is recalling around 1,930 pounds of ready-to-eat holiday kielbasa sausages due to potential metal contamination, as announced by the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
These sausages were made on October 14, 2025, and can last until February 19, 2026. There’s a chance consumers may still have some at home because of their long shelf life. The specific product affected is:
- 16-oz. vacuum-sealed packages labeled “OLYMPIA PROVISIONS UNCURED HOLIDAY KIELBASA,” with a “BEST IF USED BY” date of February 19, 2026.
The establishment number “EST. 39928” is located inside the USDA inspection mark on the packaging. These sausages were sold in retail stores across California, Oregon, and Washington, and were also available through online orders nationwide.
The issue came to light after a consumer reported finding metal in the product. Fortunately, there have been no confirmed injuries linked to this recall. If you’re worried about any possible harm, it’s best to reach out to a healthcare provider.
If you’ve bought this kielbasa, do not eat it. Dispose of it safely to avoid any risk.
