Bj's Wholesale Club Recalls Deli Service Items for Cross-Contact Risk
Bj's Wholesale Club is recalling deli service items that may have been sliced on equipment used for mortadella with pistachios, posing a potential allergen cross-contact risk.
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 a common allergen (pistachios/tree nuts). Per the rubric, allergen mislabeling on common allergens is classified as High (Score 3), particularly when no illnesses are explicitly reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Bj's Wholesale Club is recalling 229 units of 'THE PREP ENTERTAINER,' a deli service item. The recall is being issued because the product may have been sliced on the same equipment where mortadella with pistachios was processed. This creates a risk of cross-contact with pistachios, a tree nut allergen.
The affected items were sold at 71 Bj's Wholesale Club locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The sale period for these items was from January 20, 2016, to February 3, 2016.
Consumers who purchased this product should check their deli orders for this specific item. If they have it, they should return it to the store of purchase for a refund or dispose of it. Individuals with a pistachio or tree nut allergy should avoid consuming the product.
