For all you readers out there who are fans of Smithfield Packing Co.’s “Gwaltney mild pork sausage roll” — beware! The Virginia company’s recalling 38,000 pounds of pork sausage after finding it mixed with small pieces of plastic, which likely came from gloves. No one’s reported any injuries, but two unlucky consumers filed complaints. How appetizing. [AP]
