The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced an expansion in the scope of its recall of deli meats sold at Costco and Sam's Club.
An investigation into the cluster of reported illnesses has convinced the CDC to issue a recall of additional charcuterie products following the January 5 recall of the Busseto brand Charcuterie Sampler.
The CDC now believes that Fratelli Beretta's Antipasto Gran Beretta brand is also partially responsible for the ongoing salmonella outbreak.

“23 additional illnesses have been reported since the last update,” the CDC said in an update. “As of January 17, 2024, a total of 47 people from 22 states have been reported infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella.”
Busseto's charcuterie sample is sold in the Sam's Club chain of Warehouse Club retail stores and Beretta brand products are sold in Costco stores.
“While this investigation is ongoing, do not eat the Busseto brand Charcuterie Sampler from Sam's Club or the Fratelli Beretta brand Antipasto Gran Beretta from Costco. Throw them away,” recommends the CDC. “Clean surfaces and containers that may have come into contact with these products with hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher.”

“Investigators are working to determine whether additional products may be contaminated,” the CDC said.

The recall applies to all products whose best-before date is before June 13th.
Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the frail or elderly, and others with weakened immune systems.

Symptoms of infection can include fever, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain and, in rare cases, death.
In extreme cases, Salmonella can enter the bloodstream and cause more serious illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis.
