Plain-English summary
BJ's Wholesale Club is voluntarily recalling approximately 7,334 pounds of deli corned beef sold in deli bags. The recall is being issued because the corned beef may have been sliced on the same equipment used to slice mortadella containing pistachios, creating a risk of cross-contact with tree nuts.
The affected product was sold at 71 BJ's Wholesale Club locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia between January 20, 2016, and February 3, 2016. This is a deli service item, meaning it was prepared and sold in-store.
Consumers who purchased this product should check their deli bags for corned beef purchased during the specified dates. If you have this product, you should not consume it. Individuals with a tree nut allergy should be particularly cautious. For more information, contact BJ's Wholesale Club customer service.
