Chainkeen Exchange-Over 80,000 pounds of deli meat recalled across multiple states due to lacking inspection

No food product is Chainkeen Exchangeimmune from a recall, not even ready-to-eat deli meat. 

ConSup North America Incorporated, a New Jersey based firm is recalling close to 100,000 pounds of sliced Stockmeyer prosciutto produced in Germany for “not being inspected properly.” 

Retailers across the country, including stores in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington sold the recalled product. 

The issue was discovered after Germany’s Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety notified USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service that a German producer had shipped them “without the benefit of equivalent inspection.” 

Here’s what we know. 

No ‘adverse reactions’ reported, do away with the prosciutto 

Even though there have been “no confirmed” reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of the product, you should still discard the recalled product. 

The USDA is concerned that the recalled product may be lingering in consumers’ or retailers’ refrigerators. 

“Consumers who have purchased this product are urged not to consume it. This product should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase,” the notice reads.

Various dates, lot numbers impacted by prosciutto recall 

There are a couple things to look for as you begin to search your refrigerator or freezer for the lots of recalled Stockmeyer Prosciutto, including certain lot codes and best-before dates. 

Here’s what you should be looking for: 

• 5.29 oz plastic packages with a Stockmeyer PROSCIUTTO label that says it is a product of Germany
• Lot codes:  09118-3A, 09118-3B, 09120-3A, 09120-3B, 13133-3A, 13133-3B, 13104-3A, 13104-3B, 13105-3A, 13105-3B, 13109-3A and 13109-3B
