Wisconsin's Cher-Make Sausage Co. has recalled one of its meat products that contained an undeclared allergen, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Services division said Friday.
The Manitowoc company is recalling 429 pounds of its Old Fashioned Wieners.
The product was produced on July 23, and was distributed in several states, including Minnesota. The fully cooked sausages may be found intact, or individually in a meat counter display.
The problem was discovered after the company received a complaint from a store employee who found cheese in the product. The presence of cheese and milk was not declared in the product's labeling.
If shoppers have purchased the product, it should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase, the USDA said in a news release.
Consumers with questions may contact Cher-Make at 920-683-5980, or call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline.
