Why it’s dangerous
The recalled pork sausages were misbranded because they did not list monosodium glutamate (MSG) on their labels. MSG is a common food additive that is not declared on the product labels, which could lead to confusion for consumers who may have dietary restrictions or preferences regarding MSG.
Who’s affected
Anyone who purchased Atlas Meat pork sausages from the Fort Collins, Colorado location or retailers in Colorado and Wyoming between October 2016 and January 2017. People most at risk are those who consumed the products without knowing they contained MSG.
