Bj's Recalls D&W Black Pepper Turkey Due to Cross-Contact Risk

Bj's Wholesale Club is recalling D&W Black Pepper Turkey deli items that may have been sliced on equipment used for pistachio-containing mortadella.

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 potential cross-contact with pistachios, a common allergen, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'Allergen mislabeling on common allergens' or high-risk hazards without reported illness.

Plain-English summary

Bj's Wholesale Club is voluntarily recalling approximately 5,251 units of D&W Black Pepper Turkey, packaged in deli bags. This is a deli service item that was sold at 71 affected BJ's locations 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 turkey may have been sliced on the same equipment where mortadella containing pistachios was previously sliced. This creates a potential risk of cross-contact with tree nuts, a common food allergen.

Consumers who purchased this product should check their deli bags for the specific product and date range. If they have the product, they should stop consuming it and return it to the store of purchase for a refund or contact the retailer for further instructions.
