π “Holy Sausages, Batman! Johnsonville Pulls Back the Curtain on Their Cheesy Links!” π§
TL;DR: Johnsonville’s been caught red-handed with some unexpected ingredients. Over 42,000 pounds of their “Beddar with Cheddar” pork sausages are being pulled back due to an unexpected addition: thin strands of black plastic. Produced on Jan 26, 2023, the offending links have a best-by date of July 11, 2023, and feature a code C35 and the establishment number “EST. 34224”. π¬ So, before you fire up that BBQ, you’d better check your franks! π½οΈ

Well, you might want to put that idea on a slow burner. You see, it seems these cheesy delights have been sneaking in a bit more crunch than the usual sausage casing. π€
We’re not talking about overcooked or stale bread here. Nope, we’re talking about thin, wiry strands of black plastic. π€ Yes, you read that right! So, do you remember when you last had plastic for dinner? π½οΈπ
Affected packs, primarily shipped to a selection of states including Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Texas, have been put on the recall list faster than you can say “sausage sizzle.” π±
Now, don’t panic if you’re clutching a pack of these sausages in your hands. There haven’t been any reported injuries or illnesses. Phew! π But, let’s not push our luck, shall we?

On the bright side, there are plenty of other delicious options available for your summer cookouts. Burger King has introduced some fiery nuggets and a frozen mango beverage that sounds like the perfect way to cool down. Chick-fil-A has brought back their Peach Milkshake and White Peach Sunjoy after a long hiatus. And don’t forget Costco’s key lime pie. Mmm… key lime pie. π₯§π
