PASCOAG, R.I., Jan. 23 — Daniele, Inc. announced today it is initiating a voluntary recall of its Pepper-Coated Salame products because of possible concerns about salmonella. Preliminary results indicate that eleven ill individuals had consumed salame products from “Daniele Italian Brand Gourmet Pack.” State and federal health officials have been unable to confirm a direct link between the illnesses and any Daniele product.
As recently as yesterday, Daniele’s Rhode Island facilities were inspected by the state’s Department of Health and the company was found to be meeting all regulatory and food safety standards. According to the Rhode Island Department of Health, Daniele Inc. has been working diligently with the department and U.S. Department of Agriculture to help identify the source of the contamination.
“Our family business has been producing premium gourmet products for over 60 years,” said Vice President of Sales Davide Dukcevich. “While we conduct further tests, our goal right now is to take prudent, proactive measures to do everything possible to remove any products that do not meet our high standards for quality and taste.”
