BJ's Wholesale Club Recalls Roast Beef Deli Item for Cross-Contact Risk

BJ's Wholesale Club is recalling deli roast beef 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), which corresponds to a High severity score per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

BJ's Wholesale Club is recalling a deli service item described as a WF Croissant Platter substitute Roast Beef. The recall is due to the possibility that the roast beef was sliced on the same equipment used to slice mortadella with pistachios. This creates a risk of cross-contact with pistachios, a tree nut allergen.

The affected items were sold at BJ's locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The deli items were sold between January 20, 2016, and February 3, 2016, at 71 affected clubs.

Consumers who purchased this item should check their deli receipts or contact their local BJ's store for more information. Individuals with a pistachio or tree nut allergy should avoid consuming the product.
