The impacted products bear establishment number EST. 51557 inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail and foodservice locations in Oklahoma. Some products may have been sliced and sold at retail deli counters.

These products bear establishment number EST. 10827 inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to restaurants and retail locations in Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Some products may have been sold at retail deli counters without labels or other identification.

Noting that some products may be in refrigerators and/or freezers, the agency urged consumers, rtailers and restaurants, and others with the recalled products to throw them away or return to the place of purchase.
