CDC investigates Salmonella Outbreak linked to Fratelli Beretta Italian-style meats

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced an investigation into an outbreak of Salmonella that may be linked to Italian-style meats.

According to a press release issued at the end of last week, they reported 36 illnesses and 12 hospitalizations across 17 states and found that most people ate Fratelli Beretta brand uncured antipasto trays before they became ill. This does not include Italian-style meats sliced at a deli.

The CDC is advising people not to eat Fratelli Beretta brand pre-packaged uncured antipasto trays, including uncured salami, prosciutto, coppa or soppressata. The trays were sold nationwide and have “best by” dates on or before Feb. 11, 2022.

As of now, no deaths have been reported as a result of the outbreak. The CDC’s investigation is ongoing to determine if additional products are linked to illness.
