Environmental Health Issues Recall of Fratelli Beretta Ready-to-Eat Charcuterie Meat Products

The Environmental Health Division has alerted the public to a recall of Fratelli Beretta Ready-to-Eat Charcuterie Meat Products due to potential under processing.

Specifically, the Ready-to-Eat Coppa products, with varying best by dates, are subject to recall if they bear the establishment number “EST. M47967 or M7543B” inside the USDA mark of inspection or in inkjet print on the front of the package.

Fratelli Beretta USA, Inc. initiated the recall due to concerns of under-processing in products containing Coppa (dry cured pork), which could lead to potential contamination with foodborne pathogens.

These products have been distributed to distributors and retailers globally, including the Virgin Islands. The Environmental Health Division is actively working with retailers to remove the affected products from shelves. However, some items may have already been sold to consumers.

The Ministry advises individuals in possession of the recalled products to cease usage immediately and return them to the place of purchase.

The Ministry of Health and Social Development, Environmental Health Division, pledges to monitor the situation closely and provide further guidance to the public as necessary. For additional information, individuals can contact the division at 468-5110.
