The affected items are vacuum-sealed packages of Black Kassel Pillers Dry Aged DAmour Salami and Black Kassel Pillers Dry Aged Speck Smoked Prosciutto, both with a Best Before date of May 12, 2018. The products were produced on September 22 and October 12, 2017, and shipped to distribution centers in California, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, and New York.

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 their health care provider.
