WASHINGTON – The US Dept. of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall of an undetermined amount of pork sausage products from Catawissa, Pennsylvania-based Bunge’s Meats that were produced with water that did not meet the Environmental Protection Agency’s drinking water standards.

The water is used as an ingredient in the pork sausage.
