Bj's Recalls Black Forest Ham Sliced on Shared Equipment
Bj's Wholesale Club is recalling Black Forest Ham sold in deli bags because it may have been sliced on equipment used for mortadella with pistachios.
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 where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Bj's Wholesale Club is recalling approximately 7,669 units of WF Black Forest Ham sold 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. The product was sold from January 20, 2016, to February 3, 2016.
The recall was initiated because the ham may have been sliced on the same equipment where mortadella with pistachios was sliced. This shared equipment use creates a potential cross-contact risk involving pistachios, a tree nut allergen.
Consumers who purchased this product should check their deli bags for the specific product and date range. If the product matches the description, consumers should stop consuming it and return it to the store of purchase for a refund or contact the retailer for further instructions.
