BJ's Wholesale Club Recalls 3FT American Hero Deli Item

BJ's Wholesale Club is recalling 3FT American Hero deli items sold in eight states due to potential cross-contact with mortadella containing 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 allergen mislabeling/cross-contact with pistachios (a common allergen) without reported illness, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

BJ's Wholesale Club is recalling 3FT American Hero deli service items. The recall involves 4 units of the product. These items were sold at BJ's locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia between January 20, 2016, and February 3, 2016.

The recall was initiated because the product may have been sliced on the same equipment used for mortadella containing pistachios. This creates a risk of cross-contact with pistachios, a tree nut allergen. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.

Consumers who purchased this product should check their deli orders from the specified dates and locations. If they have the product, they should not consume it and should contact BJ's Wholesale Club for a refund or further instructions.
