The deal with Vienna sausages is that they could be contaminated with bacteria as it was discovered in their warehouse that there were some spoiled or leaking cans.
Conagra Brands has recalled 2.6 million cans of meats, including Armour Star Vienna sausage, that may be contaminated.
The company discovered cans in its warehouse were "spoiled and/or leaking," according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service.
After having been brought to North America by European immigrants, "Vienna sausage" came to mean only smaller and much shorter smoked and canned wieners, rather than link sausage, beginning about 1903.
However, they have no federal standard of identity.
Maple leaf brand Vienna sausage is recalled due to bulging cans.
All 113-gram cans of maple leaf brand Vienna sausage with a best-before dating leading up to and including Aug. 24, 2025, and bearing a UPC of 0 636191 8, are being recalled due to bulging cans.
The products under recall include Armour Star Chicken and Original Vienna Sausage, Goya Vienna Sausage, Hargis House Potted Meat, Great Value Vienna Sausage and Kroger Vienna Sausages.
Bacteria and fermenting and gases can cause the cans to expand.
As long as the cans are not bulging or the Vienna sausage has not actually gone bad it does not always mean the Vienna sausage is bad when the can is bulging.
The maple leaf Vienna sausages are safe to eat though but if you notice a bulging can you should take it back to the store.
