According to the USDA, the recalled sausage is packaged in 12-ounce vacuum-sealed packs labeled as "Johnsonville POLISH KIELBASA TURKEY."

The affected products bear best-by dates of May 17, 2024, and May 18, 2024. Consumers can identify the recalled items by checking for the establishment number "P-32009" printed on the side of the packaging.

These products have been distributed to retail locations nationwide, raising concerns among consumers about the potential presence of foreign materials. The issue came to light when several consumers reported discovering rubber bits within the sausage.

The FSIS advises consumers to dispose of the affected sausage or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
