Fratelli Beretta USA, Inc. has issued a nationwide recall for select Charcuterie meat products as they may be underprocessed. The Coppa-containing ready-to-eat products are feared to have been contaminated with pathogens and may cause foodborne illnesses if consumed.

The voluntary recall announced on February 12 applies to a wide range of Charcuterie meat products.

These include Beretta Antipasto, Beretta MO Antipasto, Beretta Antipasto Italian, Beretta Charcuterie Sampler, Beretta Coppa Pres, Beretta Coppa Hot, Black Bear B&B Coppa SWT Pres, Busseto Antipasto, Busseto Charcuterie Sampler, Dietz and Watzon D&W Capocolla Dry Hot, Lidl Antipasto, Lidl Copa Pres, Culinary Tour TOPC Charc Antipasto, Salumi Artigianali Roun Antipasto, among others.

As of now, the affected charcuterie meat products are not confirmed to have caused any illness or other adverse effects on consumers in the United States. However, the consumption of underprocessed food may lead to several foodborne illnesses, including Salmonellosis.

Known to last up to a week, the infection may cause people to experience symptoms like - abdominal cramps, nausea, fever, headaches, vomiting, and diarrhea. Patients experiencing such symptoms may need to consult a doctor at the earliest.

It is to be noted that federal agencies are currently investigating a multistate Salmonella outbreak feared to be linked with ready-to-eat Coppa products. Further testing and investigations into the matter indicate the product that is at the root of the outbreak may have been underprocessed. The FSIS is yet to determine if Fratelli Beretta's products are related to the outbreak.
