USDA Announces Recall on Sausage for Potential Listeria Contamination
Bourgeois Smokehouse has issued a recall for about 100 pounds of ready-to-eat smoked andouille sausage because the meat may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The recalled sausage was produced on May 12 and has been available for purchase at retail stores since May 13. Bourgeois Smokehouse's smoked andouille sausage was sold at the butcher counter at Rouses Market stores in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
The recalled sausage was individually weighed, packaged, and labeled at the butcher counter, so it will not have a USDA mark of inspection to denote if it is part of the recall. However, if you purchased smoked andouille sausage at a Rouses Market in one of the three impacted states, you should not consume it. You can confirm with your store if the sausage you purchased is produced by Bourgeois Smokehouse, and then receive a replacement or refund for the recalled sausage.
FSIS discovered the problem during routine testing, where samples of the smoked andouille sausage tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. However, no illnesses have been reported at this time.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, which is a serious and sometimes fatal infection that mostly impacts older individuals, those with weakened immune systems, and people who are pregnant and their newborn children.
While an infection is more serious for those groups, anyone can be infected with listeriosis. Typically, the symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. In more serious cases, the infection may spread beyond the gastrointestinal tract and may also lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, and premature delivery for pregnant individuals and life-threatening infections for newborns.
If you are experiencing symptoms or have any questions about listeriosis, you should contact your healthcare provider. For questions regarding the recall, you can contact Bourgeois Smokehouse directly at 985-447-1604 or bourgeoissmokehouse@comcast.net.

Costco Products Recalled in Six States: Full List of Items Impacted
Costco has recalled potentially contaminated products including Coca-Cola's Topo Chico Mineral Water and a selection of Fresh & Ready Foods' sandwiches, in six states. The Coca-Cola recall applies to Costco shoppers in Texas and Louisiana, while those in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Washington should be aware of the Fresh & Ready Foods recall.

A Nationwide Recall Affecting Thousands of Pounds of Beef Tallow Was Just Issued—Here's What to Know
A Nationwide Recall Affecting Thousands of Pounds of Beef Tallow Was Just Issued—Here's What to Know originally appeared on Parade. Beef tallow becoming the hottest food trend was not on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are. Everywhere you look these days, the byproduct of cooked cow's kidney and loin meat is being touted as a miracle fat worthy of both frying the best French fries you've ever had and slathering on your face as part of a game-changing skincare routine. Restaurants are switching to using it in favor of seed oils, and there are even protein bars chock-full of the stuff, but how did we get here? Can it really hydrate your skin better than Tatcha's The Dewy Skin Cream, and is it really better than using seed oils? 😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔 The jury's still out on both of those claims, but that hasn't stopped influencers and government officials alike from singing its praises as the equivalent of this century's gold rush. Never mind the fact that beef tallow was heavily abandoned during the early 90s due to its high concentration of saturated fat, or the fact that there is no real scientific evidence that suggests that beef tallow has any actual benefits for your skin. Sure, everything is fine in moderation, and you can bet it'll make for some finger-licking good fries, but it probably won't cure your hyperpigmentation, will, however, make you smell like a burger, and if that sounds like a plus, by all means, you do you. Of course, you might second-guess reaching for that giant tub of beef fat when you see that the FDA has issued a nationwide recall on beef tallow and pork lard products due to claims that products distributed across the country were not inspected by the USDA. Sulu Organics, LLC., a distributor in Illinois, issued a recall on 6,166 pounds of its products after several consumer complaints were made to FSIS claiming that the products did not bear the USDA inspection mark. Upon further investigation, FSIS determined that the distributor purchased the products from a regulated facility and repackaged the products into smaller containers that were relabeled without FSIS inspections. Although there have been no reports of illness or adverse reactions, consumers are urged to discard any affected products or return them to the point of purchase for a full refund.
