CREMINELLI FINE MEATS RECALLS MINI
PARMESAN SALAMI STICK PRODUCTS DUE TO MISBRANDING AND AN UNDECLARED
ALLERGEN |
WASHINGTON, June 28, 2022 – Creminelli Fine Meats,
a Salt Lake City, Utah establishment, is recalling approximately
4,207 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) parmesan salami sticks due to
misbranding and an undeclared allergen, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced
today. The product contains egg lysozyme, an egg white protein and
known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
The RTE salami stick with parmesan items were packaged on
various dates from October 26, 2021 through April 26, 2022. The
following products are subject to recall [view labels]:
- 2.6-oz. plastic pouches containing “CREMINELLI FINE MEATS
salami minis UNCURED ITALIAN SALAMI PARMESAN” with “BEST BY” dates
from 06/18/22 through 12/09/22.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number
“EST34644” stamped on the back of the product packaging next to the
best by date. These items were shipped to retail locations in
Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois,
Massachusetts, and Utah, and sold through internet sales
nationwide.
The problem was discovered by inspection personnel during a routine
label verification review. Egg white lysozyme, a component of the
parmesan cheese ingredient, is not declared on the final product
label. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse
reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned
about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare
provider. FSIS is concerned that some product
may in consumers’ pantries. Consumers who have purchased these
products are urged not to consume them. These products should be
thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS
routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling

to make certain that the product is no longer available to
consumers. When available, the retail distribution lists will be
posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
