Gaiser’s European Style Provisions Inc. is recalling over 143,000 pounds of ready-to-eat bologna products due to “misbranding,” according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on Friday.
Newsweek reached out to the company via email for comment.
Why It Matters
Numerous recalls have been initiated in 2025 due to the potential of damaged products, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens.
Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or allergies every year. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine “major” food allergens in the U.S. are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, Crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts.
What To Know
In the alert, the FSIS warns that the recalled bologna products contain “meat or poultry source materials” not noted on the product’s labels. The goods were produced from March 20, 2025, to June 20, 2025.
The alert has photos of the various products’ labels and below is a list of the impacted products, according to the FSIS:
- Vacuum-packed packages of “FAMILY TREE BOLOGNA VEAL” containing undeclared pork.
- Plastic-wrapped packages of “BABUSHKA’S RECIPE CHICKEN BOLOGNA” containing undeclared pork.
- Plastic-wrapped packages of “FANCY BOLOGNA” labeled with pork as an ingredient but containing undeclared beef and chicken.
- Vacuum-packed packages of “GAISER’S RUSSIAN BRAND DOKTORSKAYA BOLOGNA” containing undeclared beef.
- Plastic-wrapped packages of “GAISER’S BOLOGNA VEAL” containing undeclared chicken and pork.
- Plastic-wrapped packages of “GAISER’S TURKEY BOLOGNA” containing undeclared chicken and pork.
- Plastic-wrapped packages of “CHICKEN BOLOGNA KYPOYKA PABA” containing undeclared pork.
The FSIS warns that these products were distributed to retailers and wholesalers across the country and have an establishment number of “EST. 5385” inside the U.S. Department of Agriculture inspection mark.
“Some products would have been weighed, wrapped, and labeled in retail store locations at the time of purchase,” the FSIS says, adding later that the department is concerned people may have the recalled products in their freezers or refrigerators.
What People Are Saying
The FSIS in the alert, in part: “The problem was discovered when FSIS was notified by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of a complaint received through the OIG’s hotline. FSIS investigated the complaint and determined that the products contained source materials that were not declared on the label.
“Although FSIS does not expect any adverse health effects for Class III recalled products and there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.”
What Happens Next
Customers who have purchased the recalled products should not consume them; either throw them away or return the goods to the original place of purchase, the FSIS says.
