The RTE smoked andouille sausage item was produced on May 12, 2025. All products were weighed, wrapped, and labeled in-store at the time of purchase.

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

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.
