Alaska Sausage Company, Inc. has recalled 872 pounds of sausage products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The recall was initiated after the company's internal testing revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. Only sausages manufactured on January 27, 2009 are included in the recall.

Specifically, Alaska Sausage has recalled the following products:

  • 3-pound packages of "ALASKAN SAUSAGE LINKS WITH REINDEER MEAT." Each package bears a package code of "02709," a sell by date of "03/22/09" as well as the establishment number "EST. 17866" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
  • " 1- and 3-pound packages of "GERMAN BRAND COOKED BRATWURST." Each package bears a package code of "02709," a sell by date of "03/02/09" as well as the establishment number "EST. 17866" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recalled sausages were distributed to institutions and retail establishments in Alaska, including Fred Meyer stores (a Kroger supermarket chain).

Consumers who purchased the recalled sausage products should return them to the store for a refund.
