U.S. CDC handout shows packages of recalled charcuterie meats
The Centers for Disease Control announced Thursday that a recall of charcuterie meats for Salmonella contamination was widened, including a new brand sold at Costco.
The CDC said that the recall had been expanded to include all lots of the “Busseto Foods Charcuterie Sampler” sold at Sam’s Club which originally saw one lot code recalled and added all lots of “Fratelli Beretta brand Antipasto Gran Beretta” sold at Costco.
The CDC announced that the outbreak saw 23 new illnesses and five new hospitalizations, bringing the totals up to 47 and 10 respectively across 22 states. The Center warned that these numbers are likely undercounts.

Symptoms of and treatment for salmonella disease
Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, according to the FDA. The signs of salmonella poisoning include:
- Bloody diarrhea or diarrhea that lasts more than three days without improving
- Diarrhea and fever over 102 degrees Fahrenheit
- Excessive vomiting, especially if it prevents you from keeping liquids down
- Signs of dehydration, including dry mouth and throat, infrequent peeing and feeling dizzy when standing up
- Stomach cramps
These symptoms most commonly occur between six hours and six days after exposure. Though most people recover in four to seven days, those with weakened immune systems, including children younger than 5 and adults over 65, may experience more severe symptoms that require medical treatment or hospitalization.
