Washington, D.C.–D.J.’s Boudain, LLC, a Beaumont, Texas-based company, is recalling approximately 17,720 pounds of boudain sausage links due to potential contamination with foreign materials, specifically fragments of a pen, according to an announcement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The fresh and frozen boudain sausage link items were produced on January 23.
The products subject to recall bear the establishment number “EST. 13246” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to distributors, restaurants, and retail locations in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.
The problem was discovered after the establishment received a consumer complaint involving the discovery of a piece of a pen while eating the Original Boudain sausage links product.
