Harvest Meats is recalling its Harvest brand Polish sausage from six Canadian provinces because company officials found it was undercooked. The recall notice does not indicate how much of the sausage is involved.

“Consumers should not consume the recalled product described below. This recall was triggered by the company. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products, according to the recall notice posted on the CFIA website.

The company reports distributing the recalled product in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Ontario and Saskatchewan.

As of the posting of the notice, no illnesses had been reported in relation to the affected Polish sausage.
