Six items made with recalled Dietz & Watson charcuterie meat products produced by Fratelli Beretta have been recalled across seven stores in multiple states, according to a news release. The recall includes gourmet charcuterie sampler bags, sliced charcuterie, and a ReadyMeals Italian ciabatta sandwich that were sold at ACME, Albertsons, Balducci’s Food Lover’s Market, Kings Food Markets, Safeway, Shaw’s and Star Market stores.
