Fontanini Foods LLC, a McCook, Ill., establishment, is recalling approximately 2,320 pounds of raw, frozen pork breakfast sausage products that may be contaminated with foreign material, specifically clear, hard plastic.

The products were produced on June 23, 2026, and shipped to distributors in California, Florida, Michigan, and Nevada to be served in food service establishments, including restaurants. The problem was discovered after the firm received two customer complaints regarding clear, hard plastic found in the sausage product.
