Bolzano Artisan Meats of Wisconsin is recalling 5,723 pounds of salami products for misbranding and because they were produced without the benefit of federal inspection. The products have the Wisconsin state inspection shield, but they “incorrectly bear the Cooperative Interstate Shipment (CIS) program version of the USDA mark of inspection, which requires federal acceptance into the program.” That establishment is not part of the CIS program so these products cannot be sold through interstate commerce.
The recalled products include 6 ounce or 12 ounce packages of “Bolzano Artisan Meats All Natural Uncured, Old School Salami,” 6/6-oz. or 3/12-oz. packages per case (UPC 7935 7389 6360); 6 ounce or 12 ounce packages of “Bolzano Artisan Meats All Natural Uncured, Pamplona Runner Salami,” 6/6-oz. or 3/12-oz. packages per case (UPC 7935 7389 6353); and 6 ounce or 12 ounce packages of “Bolzano Artisan Meats All Natural Uncured, Fin Oh Kee Oh Na Salami,” 6/6-oz. or 3/12-oz. packages per case (UPC 7935 7320 3564).
Also recalled are 6 ounce or 12 ounce packages of “Bolzano Artisan Meats All Natural Uncured, Pig Red Salami,” 6/6-oz. or 3/12-oz. packages per case (UPC 7935 7320 3571); 6 ounce or 12 ounce packages of “Bolzano Artisan Meats All Natural Uncured, Pitzotl Salami,” 6/6-oz. or 3/12-oz. packages per case (UPC 7935 7322 1698); and 6 ounce or 12 ounce packages of “Bolzano Artisan Meats All Natural Uncured, RauchZwiebel Salami,” 6/6-oz. or 3/12-oz. packages per case (UPC 7395 7320 3588).
The products were produced between September 20, 2013 and March 15, 2014. They include batch numbers 1208 to 1214, and have the CIS program version of the USDA mark of inspection with the establishment number “EST. 692SEWI.” Products bearing the Wisconsin state inspection shield on the immediate package are not subject to this recall only if sold within that state.
