BURRILLVILLE – A town-based business has issued a recall for more than 50,000 pounds of ready-to-eat sausage products over concerns for listeria monocytogenes.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service discovered the problem during routine inspection of products sold by Daniele International LLC that were shipped to various retail locations nationwide from December 23, 2022, through January 17, 2023.
Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause symptoms including fever, muscle aches, and headaches, was reportedly found on surfaces in which the product came into contact.
The recall applies to 52,914 pounds of ready-to-eat products including the following:

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 54” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
According to the USDA, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of the products, but anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
Those who believe they may have purchased the items should throw them away – or return the items to the place of purchase.
Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected.
