What happened

Michigan Brand, Inc. is recalling approximately 4,287 pounds of pork sausage products sold under the brand names MICHIGAN BRAND and The Jerky OUTLET. The recalled products are various sizes of Teriyaki Hunter Sausage with production dates between June 6, 2014 and February 17, 2015. The sausages contain hydrolyzed soy protein, which is a known allergen, but this ingredient was not declared on the product labels, creating a safety risk for consumers with soy allergies. The products were distributed to retail outlets and distributors in Michigan and bear establishment number Est. 10306 inside the USDA inspection mark.

The problem was discovered when a Food Safety and Inspection Service inspector noticed the soy ingredient was missing from the label during a routine review. No adverse reactions have been reported from consuming these products. According to the recall record, consumers should contact a healthcare provider if they are concerned about a reaction. The record does not specify what consumers should do with recalled products they may have purchased.
