[ Edited ]

653397A6-C928-43CC-8180-FE3805EB7444.jpegPublic Health Alert for Citterio Salame Sticks for possible salmonella contamination. There's no recall so far because the USDA has not been able to trace to any specific lot numbers. The sticks were sold at Trader Joe's, Wegman's, andpssibly other retailers,  and so far they are being linked to a multi state salmonella outbreak. Right now there have been 21 people taken ill in eight states. Most of those that have become ill are young people, 81% are younger than 18, and more than half, 62%, are female. It seems that this outbreak began in September.,(" onset dates ranging from September 18, 2021 through October 3, 2021".)

"The products subject to the public health alert bear establishment number “EST. 4010” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide and exported to Bermuda."
