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) without reported illness, which meets the criteria for a High severity score (3) under the rubric.
Plain-English summary
BJ's Wholesale Club is voluntarily recalling approximately 18,977 units of Wellsley Farms Roast Beef. The product was sold in deli bags as a deli service item at BJ's locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The recall covers items sold between January 20, 2016, and February 3, 2016, at 71 affected clubs.
The recall was initiated because the roast beef may have been sliced on the same equipment used for mortadella containing pistachios. This creates a risk of cross-contact with a common allergen. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has classified this as a Class II recall.
