Following food safety checks by the Department of Primary Industries and Regions
South Australia (PIRSA), a number of mettwursts and pepperoni from Linke’s Central
Meats have been recalled and SA Health is advising people not to consume them.

While SA Health has not received any reports of illness associated with these

Linke’s Central Meats can be found at South Australian Foodlands, the Loxton IGA and
