This Popular Smoked Sausage Was Just Recalled due to Listeria Contamination—Here's What to Know
We've got to stop meeting like this bestie. It seems like just yesterday we were embarking down the rabbit hole of the current state of our food system and talking about how once you learn how the sausage is made, you might not want to eat it as much. Okay, maybe it wasn't yesterday, but you get the gist. Still, it seems like every day there's a new recall or disruption threatening the very ingredients that are in our refrigerators, and it's getting harder and harder to keep up. 😋😋🍳🍔 On the one hand, various recalls let us know that our food system is actually working, and more often than not, recalls are used as tools of prevention rather than reaction to catastrophes, although they do happen. And every recall isn't always a five-alarm fire; some are simply for missed ingredients on labels, or an incorrect best-by date. That being said, some recalls are actually rather serious, and either way, you should always tread carefully when consuming products that have been latest notice to put on your radar is a recent recall on smoked andouille sausage products do to possible listeria contamination. Yikes. Bourgeois Smokehouse recently issued a voluntary recall on almost 100 pounds of smoked andouille sausage that was sold at the butcher counter at Rouses Market stores in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The recalled product was produced on May 12 and has been available for retail purchase since May 13. It's worth noting that because the affected product was weighed and sold at butcher counters, it does not have the USDA mark of inspection, and it's best to assume that if you purchased any smoked andouille sausage products from Rouses market in the impacted states recently, it isn't safe to consume. The FSIS discovered the contamination recently when routine testing of samples came back positive for Listeria monocytogenes. Luckily, no adverse reactions or illnesses have been reported as of yet, but 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@ and it's best to return any product you might have to the point of purchase for a refund. Sounds like we'll be laying off the gumbo this summer.

Smoked Sausage Recalled For Possible Listeria Contamination
U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced a recall of approximately 100 pounds of ready-to-eat smoked andouille sausage. The products in question are from Bourgeois Smokehouse in Thibodaux, Louisiana. The sausage was shipped to Rouses Market locations in Alabama, Louisiana, and Memorial Day cookouts around the corner, we've been planning a well-rounded menu for the unofficial kick-off to summer. We're envisioning a picnic table piled high with Southern sides and a card table brimming with summer-inspired (and perhaps a few patriotic) desserts. Some folks enjoy firing up the smoker for a celebration, while others turn to their tried-and-true grilling methods. But are the smoked sausages you purchased at the butcher counter safe to eat this weekend? This week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced a recall of approximately 100 pounds of ready-to-eat smoked andouille sausage products from Bourgeois Smokehouse in Thibodaux, Louisiana. The sausage was produced on May 12, 2025 and then shipped to Rouses Market locations in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Unfortunately, after routine FSIS testing of the sausage, the agency confirmed that the products tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes (bacteria). As the sausages were weighed, wrapped, and labeled in store at the butcher counter, there is no label, establishment number, or USDA mark of inspection to look out for. Bourgeois Smokehouse and FSIS urge any customers who have purchased smoked andouille sausage at the counter from Rouses Market to throw away or return to your place of purchase for a refund. Make sure to check your freezer, as well! Thankfully, there have not been any illnesses connected with this recall to date. Listeria contamination can be especially serious for older adults, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems. (Let's not risk it before summer kicks off!) We hear Conecuh is still a safe bet for your pigs-in-a-blanket or grilling ventures this weekend. And of course, we've got plenty of spectacular burger recipes—like our Ultimate Southern Burgers topped with candied bacon—for you to wow your guests. Read the original article on Southern Living

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@ Read the original article on ALLRECIPES

Sausage Recall in 3 States As Listeria Warning Issued
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Louisiana-based meat processor is recalling around 100 pounds of sausage products because of potential listeria contamination. Bourgeois Smokehouse, located in Thibodaux, Louisiana, announced the voluntary recall of its ready-to-eat smoked andouille sausage on Tuesday. The affected items were shipped to Rouses Market retail locations in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. Newsweek has contacted Bourgeois Smokehouse via email for comment. Why It Matters The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) warns that consumption of food contaminated with listeria can cause listeriosis, an infection that can be particularly serious for certain groups. Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headaches, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. The infection can also be fatal in older adults and people with weakened immune systems. A photo of the Bourgeois Smokehouse sausage product that has been recalled.

Bourgeois Smokehouse What To Know The recall was initiated after a sample of the sausage product tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes during a routine FSIS inspection. The recalled sausages were produced on May 12, 2025. They do not bear an establishment number or the USDA mark of inspection because they were wrapped and labeled in-store at the time of purchase. They have been available for purchase at Rouses Market stores in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi since May 13. The FSIS has given the recall a Class I classification, meaning that there is a "reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death." As of Tuesday, there have been no reports of illness linked to the recalled product. What People Are Saying FSIS, said in a January 2024 report on controlling Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat meat and poultry products: "[Ready-to-eat (RTE)] products are of particular concern for contamination with [Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) because they may support the growth of the pathogen during refrigerated storage. In addition, since RTE products are often consumed without further cooking, there is a greater possibility of the occurrence of foodborne illness from these products if they become contaminated." It added: "Lethality treatments such as cooking meat and poultry products generally eliminate Lm; however, RTE products can be re-contaminated by exposure to the environment after the lethality treatment during peeling, slicing, repackaging, and other processing steps. By controlling sanitation in the post-lethality processing environment or implementing interventions in their products, establishments can ensure that their RTE products do not become contaminated with Lm." What Happens Next The FSIS says that anyone experiencing symptoms of listeriosis after consuming these products should seek medical attention. Consumers are advised to check their refrigerators and freezers and discard any products matching the recall details. They can also be returned to the place of purchase. FSIS has encouraged any consumers with questions to contact Bourgeois Smokehouse at 985-447-1604 or bourgeoissmokehouse@

Listeria contamination: Ready-to-eat sausages recalled in the US
Due to a possible listeria contamination , approximately 100 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) smoked andouille sausage products have been recalled, the Food Safety and Inspection Service, US Department of Agriculture has said. "Bourgeois Smokehouse, a Thibodaux, La., establishment, is recalling approximately 100 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) smoked andouille sausage products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes ," it said. "The RTE smoked andouille sausage item was produced on May 12, 2025. All products were weighed, wrapped, and labeled in-store at the time of purchase," it added. This item was shipped to Rouses Market retail locations in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, and has been available for purchase since May 13, 2025. Listeria monocytogenes is a kind of bacteria that can show up in some of your favorite ready-to-eat foods like deli meats, unpasteurized cheeses, pre-packed salads, and even smoked fish. Sounds harmless at first glance, right? The scary part is that Listeria doesn't need much to cause trouble. It's hardy, stealthy, and has a thing for the kinds of foods we often eat without cooking. What makes Listeria so unique—and dangerous—is that it can grow even in cold temperatures. Unlike many bacteria that slow down or die in the cold, Listeria just chills (literally) and keeps multiplying. So that sandwich meat sitting in the fridge for a week? If it's contaminated, it could be a ticking time bomb, especially for people with weak immune systems. Now here's where things get serious. When Listeria does enter the body—usually through contaminated food—it can lead to a disease called listeriosis. For most healthy people, it might just feel like a mild stomach bug or go completely unnoticed. But for vulnerable groups like pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems (like cancer patients or those with HIV), it can be downright deadly. For pregnant women in particular, Listeria is a nightmare. It might not make the mother feel too sick, but it can cause devastating outcomes like miscarriage, stillbirth, premature labor, or severe infections in the newborn. That's why doctors often tell pregnant women to avoid soft cheeses made from unpasteurized milk, raw sprouts, and deli meats unless they're steaming hot. It's not overprotectiveness—it's basic survival. Unlike some bacteria that stick around in the gut, Listeria can actually invade your bloodstream and central nervous system. That's when it causes things like sepsis (a life-threatening infection of the blood), meningitis (swelling around the brain and spinal cord), and brain abscesses. In these cases, it's not just food poisoning anymore, it's a full-blown medical emergency. Symptoms of listeriosis can take days or even weeks to show up after eating contaminated food. So by the time you feel ill, it's often hard to figure out what caused it or trace it back to a specific food item. That delay can make diagnosis and treatment tricky. The USDA has also recalled 9,722 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken coxinhas products by Snack Mania Brazilian Delights Corp., an Elizabeth, N.J. restaurant. It said they were produced without the benefit of federal inspection. The frozen ready-to-eat chicken coxinhas products were produced on various dates from June 27, 2024, through May 02, 2025. This item was shipped to retail locations in Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.
