What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 5/5 (Critical).

Highest-severity recall. The hazard can cause serious injury or death. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Plain-English summary

Fratelli Beretta USA, Inc. is recalling an undetermined amount of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat charcuterie products containing Coppa. The recall is due to possible under processing, which may have resulted in contamination with foodborne pathogens. The products bear establishment number “EST. M47967 or M7543B” inside the USDA mark of inspection or in inkjet print on the front of the package. These items were shipped to distributor and retail locations nationwide.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state public health partners to investigate a multistate outbreak of Salmonella. FSIS collected unopened RTE Coppa product during the investigation that tested positive for Salmonella, though that specific product was not released into commerce. Further investigation determined that the recalled product may be under processed. FSIS is concerned that some product may still be in retailers’ and consumers’ refrigerators.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Individuals concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider. Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, with symptoms including diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever.
