Some 29,000 pounds of Jimmy Dean sausage links have been recalled, due to the possibility of metal contamination.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said CTI Foods LLC is voluntarily recalling ready-to-eat pork and poultry sausage links, specifically the 23.4 ounce packages of “Jimmy Dean Heat ‘n Serve Original Sausage Links Made with Pork & Turkey.”

The “use by” date on the package is January 21st, 2019.

That recall comes after consumers said they found small, “string-like” fragments of metal in the product.  No injuries were reported associated with the fragments.

The recalled packages bear the establishment code M19085 or P19085 and a UPC number of “0-77900-36519-5. Cases containing the product are marked with either the lot numbers A638216800 or A638216801.

The company said customers who have purchased any of the affected items should cut the UPC and date code from the packaging, discard the product, and then call 1-855-382-3101.
