WASHINGTON, May 2, 2025 -- Ferrarini USA, Inc., in Secaucus, N.J., is recalling approximately 70 pounds of ready-to-eat sliced prosciutto (cured ham) products that were not presented for import reinspection into the United States, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The ready-to-eat sliced prosciutto products were imported on April 21, 2025. The following products are subject to recall [ view labels ]: 4-oz. vacuum-sealed plastic tray packages containing slices of “FERRARINI PROSCIUTTO DI PARMA PRODUCT OF ITALY” and lot code “2527642” on the backside label of the packaging. The products subject to recall bear Italy establishment number “IT 713 L CE” printed inside the Italian mark of inspection located on the front of the package. These items were shipped to retail locations in California. The problem was discovered when a federal establishment notified FSIS that they shipped the sliced prosciutto that was not presented for FSIS import reinspection. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
