BENTONVILLE (dpa-AFX) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and
Inspection Service or FSIS has issued public health alerts against Dim Sum
Factory Inc.'s raw, frozen pork dumpling products as well as Fratelli Beretta
USA, Inc.'s ready-to-eat or RTE Charcuterie Products for various reasons.

The pork dumpling products were produced without the benefit of federal
inspection, while Charcuterie meat products, which were sold at Costco and Sam's
Club, may be contaminated with Salmonella.

These products are no longer available for purchase due to which a recall was
not requested.

The FSIS' warning was issued against Flushing, NewYork -based Dim Sum Factory's
1.5-lb. vacuum-packed packages containing 'GOGO DUMPLING Pork & Shepherd's Purse
Wontons (Handmade).'

These raw, frozen pork wonton dumpling products were produced on various dates
since September 6, 2023, and have a shelf life of 18 months.

The products, with establishment number 'EST. 1656' inside the USDA mark of
inspection, were shipped to a distributor in New York and sold online
nationwide.

FSIS, during routine surveillance activities, found that the location where the
pork wonton products were being produced were not on the official premises of
the establishment and, therefore, were not inspected.

However, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to
consumption of these products to date.

Further, regarding Fratelli Beretta's RTE charcuterie meat products, the FSIS
noted that health alert has been issued out of an abundance of caution due to
concerns about Salmonella illnesses that may be associated with these products
in Busseto brand Charcuterie Sampler and Fratelli Beretta brand Antipasto Gran
Beretta.

The Fratelli Beretta brand Antipasto Gran Beretta was sold at Costco in a 24-oz.
twin-pack. The Busseto brand Charcuterie Sampler was sold at Sam's Club in an
18-oz. Twin-pack. The products are no longer available for purchase at Costco
and Sam's Club.

The products of concern bear establishment number 'EST. 7543B' and/or 'EST.
#47967' inside the USDA mark of inspection.

FSIS said it has been working with the CDC and state public health partners to
investigate a multistate outbreak of 47 Salmonella I 4:i:- illnesses in 22
states with onset dates ranging from November 20, 2023, through January 1, 2024.

The state of Minnesota, in the ongoing outbreak probe, identified the outbreak
strain from an unopened Busseto brand charcuterie sampler, which led to recall
on January 3, 2024.

Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis. Older
adults, infants, and persons with weakened immune systems are more likely to
develop a severe illness.

Over concerns that some products may be in consumers' freezers, the agency urged
them to throw away or return all these impacted products to the place of
purchase.
