More Than 17,000 Pounds of Sausage Have Been Recalled—Here's What to Know
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced that 17,720 pounds of DJ's Boudain sausage link products are being recalled due to the possible contamination with foreign materials. The notice cites the specific presence of 'pieces of a pen' in the meat products and urges consumers not to eat any of it.
The FSIS has provided a list of the products named in the recall, which can be found here, as well as images of each individual label. The fresh and frozen boudain sausage link products were produced on January 23, 2025 and bear the establishment number 'EST. 13246' inside of the USDA mark of inspection. These products were shipped to distributors, restaurant and retail locations across Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.

The contamination was discovered thanks to a consumer complaint which detailed the discovery of a piece of a pen while eating the Original Boudain sausage links product. So far, only one report of oral injury associated with consumption of this product has been filed, and the FSIS has received no additional reports of injury or illness as of yet. Those who do find themselves concerned about an injury should always first seek help from a medical professional.
While the recall is still ongoing, the FSIS is concerned that some of the products may be in 'consumers', retailers', and restaurants' refrigerators or freezers.' Consumers are urged not to eat these products, and rather throw them away or return to where they were purchased for a refund.
