A Surprising Recall of Bratwurst for Plastic Contamination
This week, Johnsonville, LLC made a significant recall of nearly 23,000 pounds of their Cheddar Bratwurst due to concerns that some packages may contain hard plastic. Produced on February 5, 2025, these bratwurst were distributed across 10 states, including Georgia, Indiana, and Wisconsin. While no injuries have been reported, consumers who might have these in their freezers should take action now. Contact Johnsonville's consumer relations at 888-556-2728 for guidance, or return the product to the store for a refund.
Beware of Listeria in Your Celery Sticks!
Another important recall involves Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Inc., which has voluntarily recalled nearly 1,600 cases of washed celery sticks after potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes was discovered in product testing. This bacteria poses serious health risks, especially for young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. If you have purchased Marketside Celery Sticks, check your packages for Lot Code P047650 and toss them immediately, especially if you've frozen them. Protect your family by being proactive about these recalls!
Cabot Creamery Takes Precaution with Butter Recall
Cabot Creamery has also issued a recall for about 1,700 pounds of butter due to elevated levels of coliform bacteria. While the FDA has classified this recall as Class III—which means it's unlikely to cause adverse health effects—it's still a reminder to check your pantry. The recalled butter is labeled as Cabot Creamery 8 oz Extra Creamy Premium Butter, Sea Salted. Agri-Mark, the supplier, has quickly acted to recover the majority of the products before they reached consumers.
