No food product is immune from a recall, not even ready-to-eat deli meat.
ConSup North America Incorporated, a New Jersey-based firm, recalls nearly 100,000 pounds of sliced Stockmeyer prosciutto produced in Germany for “not being inspected properly.”
The recalled product was sold at retailers across the country, including stores in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.
The issue was discovered after Germany’s Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety notified USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service that a German producer had shipped them “without the benefit of equivalent inspection.”
Here’s what we know.
Even though there have been “no confirmed” reports of adverse reactions due to product consumption, you should still discard the recalled product.
The USDA is concerned that the recalled product may be lingering in consumers’ or retailers’ refrigerators.
“Consumers who have purchased this product are urged not to consume it. This product should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase,” the notice reads.
As you begin to search your refrigerator or freezer for the recalled Stockmeyer Prosciutto, look for certain lot codes and best-before dates.
