Pork Blood Sausage Recall: Products Distributed in Northern California

By Pritzker | Ruohonen

USDA-FSIS has announced a pork blood sausage recall due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. Cecina Los Amigos, a Carson, California firm, is recalling about 290 pounds of pork blood sausages described as follows:

10-pound vacuum-sealed packages of “CECINA LOS AMIGOS PORK BLOOD SAUSAGE (MORONGA).” The label bears the establishment number “EST. 21653” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

According to the recall announcement, the pork blood sausages were produced on May 14, 2008 and were distributed to retail establishments in northern California.

The Listeria problem was discovered by routine FSIS microbiological sampling. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of products subject to this recall.

Because the incubation period for Listeria can be as long as 70 days (median incubation period 3 weeks), anyone who has eaten the pork blood sausage subject to this recall should watch for Listeria symptoms and immediately seek medical attention if symptoms appear.
