* 10-lb white cardboard box cases containing plastic bags of “Old World Italian Sausage”
* Some products were sold at retail deli counters without labels or other identification
The affected states are Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.
Ralph’s Packing Company is recalling over 3,100 pounds of ready-to-eat pork and beef bologna products due to misbranding and a potential allergen. The recalled items include:
* 16-oz vacuum-sealed chubs of “Ralph’s CIRCLE R BRAND GARLIC BOLOGNA” with certain lot codes
* Some products were sliced and sold at retail deli counters
The affected states are Oklahoma, where the products were shipped to retail and food service locations.
