Ready-to-eat charcuterie meat products recalled due to possible under-processing

(WHTM) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is warning consumers about the possible underprocessing of ready-to-eat charcuterie products sold nationwide.

According to the department, Fratelli Beretta is recalling an undetermined amount of their products containing potentially under-processed Coppa, which poses a risk of contamination with foodborne pathogens.

The recalled charcuterie products have the establishment dates “EST. M47967 or M7543B” printed on the USDA mark of inspection or in inkjet print on the front of their packages.

This recall comes just over a month after the company conducted another recall of charcuterie products on January 3, 2024, due to possible salmonella contamination.

Weeks after that, the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert on January 18, 2024, related to additional charcuterie products.

At the time of the alert, the FSIS was working with the CDC to investigate a multistate salmonella outbreak affecting 47 people in 22 states, including three cases in Pennsylvania.

According to the department, unopened ready-to-eat Coppa product tested positive for Salmonella during the investigation, but that product was not released into commerce.

Through further investigation, the FSIS determined that the recalled products may be under-processed but more testing is being done to determine if the product sample that tested positive for Salmonella is related to the outbreak.
