The recalled items are:

  • 12-oz. vacuum-packed packages containing "Al Fresco Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage" produced on Nov. 4, 2015, and bearing identification code "308 BW12 USE/FRZ BY FEB 7, 2016." The products bear establishment number "EST. P-7839" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The 22,182 pounds of sausages were distributed at multiple retailers nationwide, USDA officials said.
