Plain-English summary

Fresca Italia Inc, a Brisbane, California establishment, is recalling approximately 36 pounds of pork products produced in Italy. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on June 15, 2015. The affected items were not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection, creating a possibility of adverse health consequences due to the lack of full inspection.

The recalled products include 3-oz. sealed trays of MAESTRI AUTHENTIC ITALIAN SALUMI prosciutto italiano, 3-oz. sealed trays of Prosciutto di San Daniele, and 3-oz. sealed trays of MAESTRI AUTHENTIC ITALIAN SALUMI speck. These items were produced on April 30, 2015, and bear the establishment number CEIT 649L inside the Italian mark of inspection. The products were shipped to retail locations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area in California.

The issue was discovered during routine FSIS surveillance activities of imported products. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider. FSIS is conducting recall effectiveness checks to ensure the product is no longer available to consumers.
