USDA Issues Class I Recall for Olympia Provisions Holiday Kielbasa Over Metal Hazard

Food safety officials urge customers to check freezers for 16-ounce sausages labeled EST. 39928 with a Feb. 19, 2026 date.

Overview

  • Approximately 1,930 pounds of ready-to-eat uncured holiday kielbasa are being recalled due to possible metal contamination.
  • The product was produced on Oct. 14 and distributed to retail stores in California, Oregon and Washington, with additional nationwide sales through the company’s website.
  • The recall was initiated after Olympia Provisions reported a consumer complaint, and FSIS said the metal pieces were roughly 1.25-inch strips.
  • No confirmed injuries have been reported, and consumers are advised to discard the sausage or return it to the place of purchase.
  • Olympia Provisions says it is cooperating with regulators as FSIS warns the long shelf life means many customers may still have the product at home.
