18,000 packs of Hillshire Farm sausage recalled after bone causes a mouth injury
The long list of ingredients in sausage doesn’t include bone fragments, which is why about 18,144 packs of Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage made with pork, turkey and beef got pulled in a not-food-in-your-food recall.
Similar to ConAgra’s Banquet TV dinner recall, Hillshire Brands made the recall after finding out the hard way about the hard stuff in its food product.
