Rubber Found In Michigan Sausage Recall Issued
If you fried up a batch of Bob Evans sausage to go with your eggs recently and found yourself chewing....and chewing...and chewing on your sausage there might be good reason. The company is recalling around 4,000 pounds of that good ol' down on the farm meaty goodness because of possible contamination from small pieces of rubber.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is asking everyone who recently purchased 16oz packages of "Bob Evans Italian Sausage" with the Lot Code number 0352 on them and a "Use By Date of JAN 31 21" to toss them or return them to the point of purchase.
According to the USDA, the packages were sold in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin and Bob Evans was made aware of the issue after customer complaints.
