A recall has been issued for nearly 2,000 pounds of raw pork sausage produced by J. H. Routh Packing Co. in Sandusky that may be contaminated by extraneous materials — specifically rubber.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall Wednesday.
Jungle Jim's East Gate in Cincinnati and Jungle Jim's in Fairfield (Butler/Hamilton counties) sell the sausage products under the Daisyfield Pork brand sold and distributed to grocery stores throughout Ohio and the eastern United States.

The firm discovered the problem and notified FSIS on Monday.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions because of the consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
