Plain-English summary
Bolzano Artisan Meats LLC, a Milwaukee, Wisconsin establishment, is recalling approximately 5,723 pounds of salami products. The recall was initiated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) because the products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and were misbranded with the Cooperative Interstate Shipment (CIS) program version of the USDA Mark of Inspection. The establishment is not part of the CIS program, meaning the products could not legally be sold through interstate commerce.
The affected products include six varieties of Bolzano Artisan Meats All Natural Uncured salami, including Old School, Pamplona Runner, Fin Oh Kee Oh Na, Pig Red, Pitzotl, and RauchZwiebel. These products were produced between September 20, 2013, and March 15, 2014, and include batch numbers 1208 to 1214. The recalled items bear the establishment number EST. 692SEWI. The products were distributed for institutional and retail sales nationwide and sold over the internet. Products bearing the Wisconsin state inspection shield on the immediate package are not subject to this recall.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of illness due to consumption of these products. The issue was discovered after FSIS personnel received information about the product being in commerce. The company had begun using new packaging labels with the CIS program USDA Mark of Inspection before implementing all federal requirements necessary to authorize its use. Consumers with questions about the recall should contact Scott Allen Buer, Owner, at (414) 238-4874.
