Beware the Salami
That Evil Pepper
It grieves me to report that some of my favorite food, salami, sopressata, and other types of Italian sausage are involved in a salmonella recall. These delicious products, produced by Daniele International in their Burriville, R.I. plant, have been contaminated by tainted pepper. Naturally the products have been pulled from stores, but since these products have long shelf lives, they could be lurking in the back of many refrigerators. Be warned.
In the meantime, Daniele has changed spice suppliers and will now use only irradiated pepper.
(Thanks Sis for bringing this news to my attention!)

Got something to say?
There is always proscuitto, my favorite Italian meat. I also thought the salami and sopressata curing process took care of bacteria. I guess I was wrong.
It’s a toss up for me between the prosciutto and the sopressata. I think the curing protects against future bacteria, but if it already has some, it doesn’t kill it. Hence the irradiation.
