The Ohio-based sausage maker identified five varieties of their products with the potential issue and are asking consumers to throw out or return the packages to their local retailer. The items were distributed in New York, New Jersey and 10 other states.

"The problem was discovered when the establishment received consumer complaints of extraneous material in the port sausage products," the USDA announcement said.

"There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products," the agency said. "Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a health care provider."

The recalled sausage packages were produced Aug. 1, and bear the establishment number of "EST. 6785."
