Johnsonville noted that if the fibers are consumed, the USDA believes they likely pose a low risk of adverse health effects. packages of Johnsonville Beddar with Cheddar Smoked Sausage links were produced on January 26, 2023 and have the best by 07/11/2023 C35 code date along with an establishment number of EST 34224 on the front, lower right corner.
