Minnesota Warns of Salmonella Risk in Popular Charcuterie Sampler

(KNSI) — The Minnesota Departments of Health and Agriculture are sounding the alarm after a charcuterie sampler sold at Sam’s Club and other retailers may be linked to Salmonella.

One person reported becoming sick in December after eating from the Busseto brand Charcuterie Sampler containing prosciutto, sweet sopressata, and dry coppa. Officials collected and tested an unopened package from the person’s home, which tested positive for Salmonella.

Health officials recommend not eating any Busseto brand Charcuterie Sampler from LOT number L075330300 with an expiration date of April 27, 2024. It is not yet known which of the individual components of the sampler may have been the source of contamination or whether similar products are affected.

Since most people who get sick with Salmonella do not seek medical care, the number of infected people is likely larger than the reported cases. Anyone who eats the product, becomes sick, and is concerned about their health should talk to their doctor.

Symptoms of Salmonella infection include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. Symptoms usually begin within 12 to 96 hours after exposure but can be delayed up to two weeks.
