Following a consumer complaint, Olympia Provisions of Portland, Oregon, is recalling 1,930 pounds of ready-to-eat holiday kielbasa sausages that may be contaminated with foreign matter, particularly metal, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
FSIS is concerned that some products may be found in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased this product are asked not to consume it.
The kielbasa was produced on October 14. The following product is subject to recall:

The recalled product has the establishment number “EST. 39928” inside the USDA inspection mark printed on the label.
This item shipped to retail locations in California, Oregon, and Washington, and was available nationwide through direct-to-consumer online sales.
