Louisiana meat retailer Bourgeois Smokehouse announced a voluntary recall of its ready-to-eat smoked andouille sausage on Tuesday.

The company is recalling around 100 pounds of sausage products because of potential listeria contamination, according to its release.

“The RTE smoked andouille sausage item was produced on May 12, 2025,” the release reads.

“…This item was shipped to Rouses Market retail locations in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, and has been available for purchase since May 13, 2025.”

It continues that the problem “was discovered after FSIS performed routine product testing of the RTE andouille sausage produced by Bourgeois Smokehouse and confirmed those products positive for Listeria monocytogenes.”

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products as of May 21, according to the company.

The release added that customers who have recently purchased these products should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.

Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Less commonly, people outside these risk groups are affected.

Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.

In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn, according to the USDA.

It can also be fatal in older adults and those with weakened immune systems.

Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics.

The USDA advises people in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should to medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food.
