A Salmonella sausage and salami recall was expanded on Jan. 31 to include an additional 17,235 pounds of hot sorpressata calabrese, according to the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The manufacturer, Daniele International Inc., originally recalled 1.24 million pounds of salami/salame believed to be contaminated with Salmonella (serotype Montevideo), and is now expanding that recall to hot sorpressata calabrese sold under the Daniele and Boar’s Head brand names. The recalled salami/salame Italian sausage products bear the establishment number “EST. 54” and include the following:
- Packages of “DANIELE HOT SOPRESSATA CALABRESE,” produced on 11/7/09, 12/16/09 and 12/18/09.
- Packages of “DANIELE SOPRESSATA CALABRESE,” produced on 12/16/09 and 12/18/09.
- Packages of “BOAR’S HEAD BRAND HOT SOPRESSATA CALABRESE,” produced on 11/28/09, 12/9/09 and 12/14/09.
According to the FSIS:
“The recall is being expanded as a result of a confirmed finding of Salmonella in an unopened salami product reported by the Illinois Department of Public Health. The product was sampled during the course of an ongoing investigation of a multi-state outbreak of Salmonella serotype Montevideo illnesses.”
That outbreak has so far sickened 203 people in 42 states, who became ill with a matching strain of Salmonella Montevideo, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The following is a list of cases in each state, however, because Salmonella Montevideo is a common strain of the pathogen, health officials say that some of these illnesses may not be part of the outbreak:
AK (1), AL (2), AZ (5), CA (30), CO (4), CT (4), DC (1), DE (2), FL (3), GA (3), IA (1), ID (2), IL (11), IN (3), KS (3), LA (1), MA (12), MD (1), ME (1), MI (3), MN (4), MO (1), NC (9), ND (1), NE (1), NH (1), NJ (8), NM (2), NY (16), OH (9), OK (1), OR (9), PA (5), RI (2), SC (1), SD (3), TN (4), TX (7), UT (7), VA (1), WA (15), WV (1), and WY (2)
