Check your fridge: New sausage recall issued across three states
- Replies 0
If you picked up smoked sausage from the butcher counter recently, it might be time to double-check that label.
The USDA has just confirmed a recall for a batch of ready-to-eat smoked andouille sausage due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
The announcement comes from the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
Roughly 100 pounds of smoked andouille sausage are being recalled. The affected meat was produced on May 12 and has been available for sale at select butcher counters starting May 13.
Here’s what to know: the sausage was sold at Rouses Market locations in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Since it was packaged and labeled individually at the store counters, there is no USDA inspection mark printed on the label.
That means if you recently purchased smoked andouille sausage from Rouses, the only way to know for sure is to ask the store whether the product came from Bourgeois Smokehouse.
FSIS discovered the issue during routine testing, where a sample tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. Thankfully, no related illnesses have been reported so far.

This bacteria can cause a serious infection called listeriosis. While it can affect anyone, it poses the greatest risk to adults over 60, individuals with weakened immune systems, and those who are pregnant—as well as their newborns.
Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, confusion, stiff neck, and gastrointestinal distress. In severe cases, the infection may result in miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening illness for newborns.
