Urgent recall issued for 85,000 pounds of ‘unsafe’ sliced ham in eight states – is YOURS one of them?

Stockmeyer ready-to-eat sliced proscuitto, sold by ConSup and made in Germany, was recalled Wednesday due to a portion of it failing to meet safety inspections

Nearly 86,000 pounds of sliced ham has been recalled in eight states, health officials announced. 

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), an arm of the USDA, said Wednesday that New Jersey-based ConSup North America Inc is recalling its ready-to-eat Stockmeyer sliced proscuitto, which was produced in Germany.

The affected products were shipped to retail stores in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. 

The products were made from September 25, 2023, through March 6, 2024. 

Meat, poultry, and egg products made in other countries and imported into the US must meet all American safety standards, which the USDA calls ‘equivalence.’ 

Germany’s Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety notified FSIS that the German company H Klümper GmbH & Co KG produced ‘a portion’ of the identified products without inspecting them based on US standards.
