RECALL GETS BIGGER

Rhode Island Firm Recalls Italian Sausage Products Due To Possible Salmonella Contamination (Update)

With some precision, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) warned the public north of the border not to eat certain Daniele Inc. brand salami products because they may be contaminated with Salmonella again.

As part of the continuing investigation, this recall release is being updated on February 4, 2010, to include two additional products, adding approximately 23,754 pounds to the January 23 recall. It should be noted that these additional products are separate from those listed on the January 31 expansion.

The two additional products are:

3-ounce packages of "DANIELE NATURALE SALAME COATED WITH COARSE BLACK PEPPER."

Approximately 6-pound packages of "DANIELE SALAME GRANDE COATED WITH PORK FAT & PEPPER."

Meanwhile, FSIS, which has jurisdiction for meat products, issued a list of retailers that carried the Daniele brand ready-to-eat meats. Costco, Sam's Club, and Wal-Mart stores throughout the nation top the list.

Others who sold the recalled meat brands include: Fred Meyer (AK, ID, OR, & WA); Fry's Food and Drug (AZ); Haggen (OR & WA); Hilander (IL); Kroger (AL, GA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MI, MO, NC, OH, SC, TN, TX, VA, & WV); and Market Basket (MA & NH).
