BJ's Wholesale Club is voluntarily issuing a recall of Cittero Mortadella and deli meats sold from Jan. 20 through Feb. 3, 2016, due to a possible exposure to a tree nut allergen (pistachio), the Food and Drug Administration announced.
The Citterio Mortadella is being recalled because it may contain undeclared pistachios. Deli meats that may have come in contact with the same equipment as the Citterio Mortadella are also being recalled. Click here to see a list of affected deli meats. These sliced deli meats are sold in individual service bags.
The recalled deli meats were sold at BJ's locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
No illnesses have been reported to date. Consumers who do not have an allergy to pistachio nuts do not need to throw out the Citterio Mordatella or other deli meats as they are safe to eat.
The recall is being conducted because during the Jan. 20 – Feb. 3 timeframe, BJ's mistakenly received Citterio Mortadella containing pistachios. BJ's deli labels did not list pistachios as an ingredient. Since the Mortadella with pistachios may have been sliced on equipment where other deli meats were sliced, BJ's is conducting a voluntary recall of all deli meats purchased during the dates shown above. Deli cheeses are sliced on separate equipment and, as such, are not subject to this voluntary recall.
BJ's is coordinating closely with the USDA and has taken precautionary steps, including removing all potentially-affected products from its delis and disinfecting the deli equipment and surfaces.
Members that purchased the recalled products and have an allergy to pistachio nuts, are asked to please throw away the Citterio Mortadella and any other deli meats purchased between Jan. 20, 2016, and Feb. 3, 2016.
