We told you earlier this week how Kellogg's was recalling Special K cereal due to the risk of glass fragments in the product. Well, now Smithfield Packing Company is recalling 38,000 pounds of Gwaltney pork sausage due to a possibility that the product may contain small pieces of plastic.
The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on Thursday.

Inside the USDA mark of inspection, the recalled products also contain the establishment number “Est. 221-A.” The sausage rolls were created on Jan. 11, 2013.
The recall was issued after Smithfield received two consumer complaints, however no injuries have been reported regarding the products.
