Aren’t Vienna sausages tasty little chicken-based snacks? Apparently, part of what makes some brands of them so tasty is monosodium glutamate, yet in one recent batch, the company left that ingredient off the label. Now it has to recall 500 tons of sausages, which were sold at retailers including Walmart.

Specifically, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced, 999,419 pounds of the processed chicken sausagey things were made using bouillon that contains MSG, but the ingredient wasn’t included on the label of the finished sausages.

Affected products come in a variety of sizes, including packages for use in food service establishments. According to the announcement, they were distributed in Puerto Rico and in Florida.

What you should look for is a label with USDA establishment P-7375. Brands include Great Value, Econo, Sedano’s, and Carmela Foods.
