Various brands of gourmet sausage recalled

Washington -- The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall of various brands of gourmet sausage products due to mislabeling.

Frank Wardynski & Sons Inc. of Buffalo, N.Y., initiated the recall involving approximately 17,000 pounds of sausage after learning the products might contain undeclared sulfites, which can be a health hazard to individuals who are sensitive to sulfite.

The products being recalled are 12-ounce packages of Chateau Royal Gourmet rabbit, veal and pork sausage with white wine; 16-ounce packages of Broadleaf smoked venison sausage (beef or pork added) with Port wine and cassis; 12-ounce packages of Broadleafe elk sausage (beef and pork added) with Madeira wine; 12-ounce packages of Robert Allen's gourmet smoked sausage with cranberry and shiraz wine; and 12-ounce packages of Chateau Royal smoked venison sausage (beef and pork added) with Port wind and cassis.

The recalled sausage products were shipped to a central distributor in New York for further distribution.
