Olympia Provisions Recalls Holiday Kielbasa Sausages Over Foreign Matter Concerns
Olympia Provisions, based in Portland, Oregon, has issued a recall on its holiday kielbasa sausages due to potential contamination. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall on December 19, 2025.
Details of the Recall
Approximately 1,930 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) holiday kielbasa sausages are affected. This product may contain foreign material, specifically metal. The sausages were produced on October 14, 2025, and are packaged as follows:
- Product Name: OLYMPIA PROVISIONS UNCURED HOLIDAY KIELBASA
- Packaging: 16-oz vacuum-sealed plastic packages
- Best By Date: 02/19/26
- Establishment Number: EST. 39928 (inside the USDA mark of inspection)
The affected products were distributed to retail locations in California, Oregon, and Washington. They were also made available nationwide through online sales.
Reason for Recall
The recall was initiated after Olympia Provisions received a consumer complaint about metal found in the sausages. Fortunately, there are no confirmed reports of injury related to this product. However, the FSIS advises anyone concerned about potential injuries to consult a healthcare professional.
FSIS has expressed concern that some of the affected products may still be present in consumer homes. To ensure safety, consumers who purchased the recalled kielbasa are strongly urged to refrain from consuming the product. Options include discarding it or returning it to the store where it was purchased.
Next Steps for Consumers
FSIS routinely checks the effectiveness of recalls. This ensures that all recalling firms notify their customers and take steps to prevent the product from being available for consumption. For more information about the recall, including the retail distribution list, consumers can visit the FSIS website.
