But before you go preparing your grill for the season<\/a>, you need to check your fridge and make sure that your brats aren't part of the recent bratwurst recall. Johnsonville recalled<\/a> 22,672 pounds of its cheddar bratwurst because the links could contain hard plastic material.\r\n

What caused the recall?<\/h2>\r\nThe recall was initiated after Johnsonville received two consumer complaints that hard plastic material had been found inside the brats. This is a Class I recall<\/a>, which is the highest classification. It means there is a \"reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death,\" per the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).\r\n

What stores sold the brats?<\/h2>\r\nThe brats were distributed to retailers in 10 states: Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin.\r\n\r\nThere is no specific retail location mentioned in the recall. You'll need to check your brats regardless of where you purchased them if you live in one of these states.\r\n

How do I know if I have a recalled package of brats?<\/h2>\r\n\"Johnsonville\r\n\r\nThe brats were produced on February 5. It's important to check both your fridge and your freezer for the brats.\r\n\r\nJohnsonville BRATS CHEDDAR Bratwurst<\/strong>\r\n
    \r\n \t
  • Size: 19-ounce sealed tray packages containing fives sausages<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Establishment number: \"Est. 1647\" appears on the front of the label along with package code B9FOD<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

    What should I do next?<\/h2>\r\nIf you have any of the brats, do not consume them even if they do not appear to be contaminated. Throw them out, or return them to the retailer you purchased them from. If you have consumed the brats and feel ill, please seek medical attention.\r\n\r\nFor additional questions, you can contact Johnsonville directly at 888-556-2728.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
