P&S Bakery recalls 2,959lb of pepperoni products

US-based P&S Bakery is recalling nearly 2,959lb of pepperoni product over concerns of possible foreign matter contamination, specifically clear meat casing used in food production.

The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) noted that the frozen, ready-to-eat, beef and pork pepperoni roll item was produced on 29 March this year, and shipped to distributors and retail locations across Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

P&S Bakery is recalling 5.25oz clear plastic wrapped packages containing one piece of Gia Russa brand ‘Double Stuffed Pepperoni Roll Pepperoni & Mozzarella', which bears lot/case code 17088.

The recalled product bears an establishment number ‘EST. 27274’ inside the USDA mark of inspection.

P&S Bakery identified the issue after it received consumer complaints through one of its distributors.

The FSIS has not yet received any reports of injury or illness due to the consumption of these products, and advised customers to throw away the product or return it to the place of purchase.

P&S Bakery produces speciality bread products that are filled with a variety of quality meats, cheeses, sauces and sweet fillings.
