Bad news for charcuterie fans: Fratelli Beretta USA, based in Mount Olive, NJ, has issued a recall on ready-to-eat charcuterie products, the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) reports.

This recall is due to the fact that the charcuterie products contain Coppa that is potentially under processed, putting consumers at risk of salmonella. Learn more about the recall, including what to do if you’re in possession of one of the recalled products, below.

Fratelli Beretta Recalls Charcuterie Products Containing Coppa Due To Potential Contamination

This recall includes all ready-to-eat (RTE) Coppa products that are labeled with an establishment number of EST. M47967 or M7543B. These products have various best-by dates and were shipped to distributors and retailers across the United States, including Costco, Sam’s Club, Aldi, and Walmart. The exact products and best-by dates can be found here.

FSIS notes that this recall is part of an investigation of a multistate Salmonella investigation. “FSIS collected unopened RTE Coppa product as part of the investigation, which tested positive for Salmonella, but that product was not released into commerce,” they wrote. “After further investigation, FSIS determined that the product subject to the recall may be under processed. Further testing is ongoing to determine if the product sample that tested positive for Salmonella is related to the outbreak.”

Another recall on charcuterie products—including Busseto products—due to potential Salmonella contamination was issued early this year.

If you have any of the recalled products in your refrigerator, the FSIS says you should not consume them. Instead, throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Consuming food contaminated with Salmonella can have serious health consequences. Symptoms of salmonellosis—which elderly people, people with weakened immune systems, and infants are especially at risk of—include diarrhea, cramps, fever, and more.

For more information, you can contact Busseto Recall Hotline at 866-552-4916. Additionally, consumers with food safety concerns can contact the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-MPHotline (888-674-6854) or email questions to [email protected]. To report issues with meat, poultry, or egg products, consumers can access the Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System online at https://foodcomplaint.fsis.usda.gov/eCCF/.

Staying on top of recalls like this is an important part of keeping you and your family safe and healthy. Other recent recalls include salad kits linked to a Listeria outbreak and ice cream with undeclared allergens.
