BJ's Wholesale Club Recalls 3FT Italian Hero Deli Sandwiches
BJ's Wholesale Club is recalling 3FT Italian Hero deli sandwiches sold in eight states because they 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 without reported illness.
Plain-English summary
BJ's Wholesale Club is voluntarily recalling 3FT Italian Hero deli service items. The recall affects 331 units sold at 71 BJ's locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. These items were sold between January 20, 2016, and February 3, 2016.
The recall is being issued because the Italian Hero sandwiches may have been sliced on the same equipment where mortadella with pistachios was sliced. This creates a potential cross-contact hazard involving pistachios, a common tree nut allergen.
Consumers who purchased these items should check their deli receipts or contact their local BJ's Wholesale Club for more information. The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall.
