DOTHAN, Ala. – Bourgeois Smokehouse, a Louisiana-based meat retailer, announced a voluntary recall of its ready-to-eat (RTE) smoked andouille sausage on Tuesday due to potential listeria contamination.
The recall affects approximately 100 pounds of sausage products, which were produced on May 12, 2025. The sausages were shipped to Rouses Market retail locations in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, where they have been available for purchase since May 13, 2025.
The issue was discovered after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) conducted routine product testing and confirmed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the affected sausages.
As of May 21, the company reports there have been no confirmed illnesses linked to the products.
Bourgeois Smokehouse urges customers who have purchased the affected sausages to dispose of them or return them to the point of purchase for a refund.
