What happened

Grossglockner Inc. is recalling approximately 204 pounds of fully cooked pork sausage bangers because the products have incorrect labeling. The packages bear a Banger Sausage label on the front but have a Wiener Products ingredients label on the back. The sausages contain breadcrumbs made with wheat, but the back label does not declare this ingredient, meaning wheat is not listed despite being present in the product. This poses a risk to consumers with wheat allergies. The affected product is a 16-ounce vacuum-packed package labeled "Handcrafted by Joseph Brunner Wegmans Bangers 8% Bread Crumbs" with lot number 18716 and a sell-by date of 08/24/2016, which were distributed to Wegmans stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions.

Misbranding

Details from the source

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3, 2016 Grossglockner Inc., a Canandaigua, N.Y. establishment, is recalling approximately 204 pounds of fully cooked, not shelf stable, pork sausage banger products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen, the U.S. Department of Agricultures Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The firm affixed the incorrect label to the back of products on the July 6, 2016 packaging date. The products have the Banger Sausage front label but have an incorrect ingredients label for Wiener Products on the back of the package. The Banger sausages contain breadcrumbs formulated with wheat; however, the back label is not correct and thus, does not sub-list the breadcrumbs. Therefore, wheat is not declared and may elicit allergic reactions in those allergic to wheat products. The pork sausage items were produced on July 5, 2016. The following product is subject to recall: [ View Labels (PDF Only)] 16-oz. vacuum-packed packages containing Handcrafted by Joseph Brunner Wegmans Bangers 8% Bread Crumbs bearing lot number 18716 and a sell-by date of 08/24/2016. The products subject to recall bear establishment number EST. M-6373 inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to Wegmans stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia. The problem was discovered by Wegmans store personnel.
