What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling/cross-contact with pistachios (a common allergen) without reported illnesses, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for allergen risks.
Plain-English summary
Bj's Wholesale Club is recalling 5,750 units of Armour Meat Bologna packaged in deli bags. This is a deli service item that was sold at 71 affected clubs in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia between January 20, 2016, and February 3, 2016.
The recall is being issued because the bologna may have been sliced on the same equipment where mortadella with pistachios was sliced. This creates a potential cross-contact risk for consumers with nut allergies.
