Salm Partners, LLC, based in Denmark, Wisconsin, has announced a nationwide recall of approximately 133,039 pounds of ready-to-eat turkey kielbasa products.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) reported that the products might be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically bone fragments.
The recall includes 13-oz. plastic vacuum-sealed packages of "PARKVIEW TURKEY POLSKA KIELBASA," produced on October 27 and October 30, 2023.
These packages have a use by date of either APR 24, 2024, or APR 27, 2024, and bear the establishment number "P-32009."
The issue was identified following consumer complaints of bone pieces found in the turkey kielbasa, along with two complaints received by the FSIS.
There has been one minor oral injury reported in connection with this issue. While no other injuries or illnesses have been reported, FSIS is advising consumers who have purchased these products not to consume them.
Instead, these items should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase.
The recall affects retail locations nationwide, and FSIS is cautioning that some of these products may still be in consumers' homes, either in refrigerators or freezers.
Consumers are encouraged to check their purchases and seek medical attention if necessary.
