USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Fratelli Beretta USA Inc. is recalling an undetermined amount of ready-to-eat meat charcuterie products containing coppa that may be underprocessed, which may have resulted in possible contamination with foodborne pathogens.
The coppa products included in the recall have varying best-by dates and bear the establishment numbers “EST. M47967 or M7543B” within the USDA mark of inspection or in inkjet print on the front of the packaging. They were distributed to various distributors and retail locations across the country.
FSIS, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and state health partners, is investigating a salmonella outbreak and found that unopened coppa products tested positive for salmonella, prompting the recall due to potential underprocessing.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
