Check Your Fridge: Important Recall on Johnsonville Brats!
As warmer weather approaches, many of us start to think about summer grilling and all those delicious bratwursts. But hold on a minute! Before you fire up that grill, it’s crucial to check if your tasty Johnsonville cheddar brats are part of a significant 21,672 pounds bratwurst recall. Yes, you heard that right—some links are being pulled off the shelves due to dangerous hard plastic contamination!
Why Were the Brats Recalled?
The recall was prompted after two consumers found hard plastic pieces lurking in the bratwurst. This isn’t just a minor issue; it’s classified as a Class I recall—the most severe type. According to the USDA, this classification means there’s a “reasonable probability” that consuming these brats could lead to serious health consequences. Yikes!
Which States Might Be Affected?
If you live in any of the following states, it’s time to check your freezer or fridge: Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin. It’s important to note that while there’s no specific store mentioned, the brats could have made their way into many local retailers. So, no matter where you got them, a little inspection goes a long way!
Identifying the Recalled Brats
The affected brats are packaged in 19-ounce trays with five sausages each and have the establishment number "Est. 1647" on the front label. Produced on February 5, these packages are now a risk, so if you find some at home, don’t think twice—dispose of them or return them for a refund!
What Should You Do If You've Already Eaten Them?
If you’ve already munched on these potentially hazardous brats and feel unwell, it’s time to seek medical assistance. Health comes first, and your well-being matters!
