(Jan. 8, 2024)

Fratelli Beretta USA is recalling 11,097 pounds of its Bussetto Foods Charcuterie Samplers due to potential salmonella contamination.

The meat recall covers the Busseto Foods Charcuterie Sampler Prosciutto, Sweet Sopressata and Dry Coppa with a lot code of L075330300 and marked as “BEST IF USED BY APR 27 24.” 

The meat recall was sold as a twin pack with two 9-ounce packages. The package includes an establishment number marked “EST. 7543B” inside the USDA mark of inspection and “EST. #47967.”

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture notified the  U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) that the product had tested positive for salmonella.

The impacted charcuterie salmonella recall products were shipped to Sam’s Club distribution centers in Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas.        

FSIS is investigating multistate outbreak of salmonella with CDC

Fratelli Beretta did not indicate if it has received any reports of illness related to the recall so far. The company is not facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.

FSIS says it is working with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state public health partners to investigate a multistate outbreak of salmonella.

Consumers can call the Busseto Recall Hotline at 866-552-4916.

The FSIS issued a public health alert in February for certain ready-to-eat meat snacks that contain a recalled wafer.
