The Food Safety and Inspection Service confirmed that the contamination was discovered during standard import reinspection procedures. While the agency has not received any reports of illness linked to the consumption of these products, the pathogen poses significant health risks, particularly to vulnerable populations.

Prime Line Distributors shipped the affected inventory exclusively to Florida locations. Ferrarini USA reached a broader market, distributing the pork products to California, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Florida. Consumers and businesses in possession of the recalled items are advised to discard them or return them to the point of purchase.
