Salmonella Found in Salami Prompts Recall

Salami made by a Pennsylvania meat firm is being recalled in California and 18 other states after routine testing detected salmonella, an Agriculture Department official says.

The voluntary recall by Citterio U.S.A. of Freeland, Pa., involves its 12-ounce to 14-ounce size of “Sopressata Campagna” with the code 06 14 88, Lester Crawford, administrator of the department’s Food and Safety Inspection Service, said Wednesday. “If you have this product, return it to the place of purchase,” Crawford said. “Do not taste the salami.”

Salmonella, a food poisoning bacteria, does not change a food’s taste or odor.
