BJ's Wholesale Club is recalling American Substitute Turkey deli items sold in eight states due to potential cross-contact with pistachio-containing mortadella.
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 tree nut, a common allergen) on a ready-to-eat product, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for allergen issues.
Plain-English summary
BJ's Wholesale Club is recalling 3FT American Substitute Turkey deli service items. The recall affects 5 units of the product sold at 71 BJ's locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The items were sold between January 20, 2016, and February 3, 2016.
The recall was initiated because the turkey may have been sliced on the same equipment used for mortadella containing pistachios. This creates a risk of cross-contact with a common allergen.
Consumers who purchased this product should check their deli items and discard them if they match the description. No specific lot numbers are provided in the source text, so consumers should rely on the product name and the dates of sale.
