Over 10,000 pounds of pork and beef products are being recalled across several states due to serious labeling issues, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
Two distinct recalls involve mislabeled products that could pose risks to public health, particularly for individuals with allergies, reported EatingWell.
Approximately 7,485 pounds of raw Italian pork sausage sold in Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania are being recalled because they were distributed without the required FSIS inspection. These sausages, labeled as “Old World Italian Sausage,” were sold at deli counters from October 3 to December 19, 2024. Consumers who may have purchased these products are urged to check their refrigerators and dispose of them immediately. While no illnesses have been linked to this recall, individuals who experience symptoms after consuming the sausage should consult a healthcare provider.
In a separate recall, over 3,000 pounds of ready-to-eat garlic bologna, branded as Ralph’s Circle R, is being pulled from shelves in Oklahoma. This product, sold at deli counters since September 2022, is recalled for undeclared dairy, a common allergen, per EatingWell. Dairy allergies can trigger reactions ranging from mild discomfort to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include hives, swelling, abdominal pain, and, in severe cases, difficulty breathing or cardiac arrest. The FSIS has not received reports of adverse reactions linked to this recall, but individuals with dairy allergies are advised to exercise caution. Consumers are encouraged to immediately dispose of any affected bologna to avoid potential health risks. For those experiencing severe allergic reactions, contacting emergency services is critical.
Labeling errors, such as those in these recalls, underscore the importance of accurate product information for consumer safety. Food products that bypass inspection or fail to declare allergens jeopardize public health and can lead to widespread recalls. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
