Watch Out for Soy: Michigan Sausage Recall

Well, here's a little food safety warning for you. There's a recall happening for some sausage products from UP Products, LLC, known as Meyer Wholesale, in Michigan. The problem? They didn't mention soy on the label, and soy is a known allergen. It's like hiding a secret ingredient, but not in a good way! So, why's this a big deal? If someone with a soy allergy eats these sausages, they could get sick. It's not fun and it can be dangerous. The recall is for about 400 pounds of sausages, both ready-to-eat and raw, including Polish sausages and potato sausages. They were made between October 30, 2024, and January 7, 2025.

What's interesting is that this mistake was caught during a routine check by the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Sounds like they were doing their job well! The products are labeled with establishment number "EST. M1733" and were sent to places in Michigan and Wisconsin. No one's reported getting sick yet, but if you think you might be affected, it's a good idea to toss the sausages or return them. FSIS will keep checking to make sure the recall works. You can find more info on their website. If you have questions, you can call UP Products or the USDA.
