Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source metadata explicitly classifies the recall as 'High - Class I'. According to the rubric, an agency classification of FDA Class I or USDA Class I mandates a severity score of 5 (Critical), regardless of other factors.

Plain-English summary

Fratelli Beretta USA, Inc. is recalling approximately 11,097 pounds of Busseto Foods brand ready-to-eat charcuterie meat products. The specific product is an 18-oz. plastic tray package containing a charcuterie sampler with Prosciutto, Sweet Sopressata, and Dry Coppa. These items were produced on October 30, 2023, and bear lot code L075330300 with a "BEST IF USED BY APR 27 24" date.

The recall was initiated after the Minnesota Department of Agriculture tested an unopened sample of the product and found it positive for Salmonella. FSIS is working with the CDC and state public health partners to investigate a multistate Salmonella outbreak. The products were shipped to Sam’s Club distribution centers in Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, characterized by diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. While most people recover without treatment, older adults, infants, and persons with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe illness. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
