Dietz & Watson Recalls Deli Meat With Unlabeled Nuts Sold In Michigan

The meat, which contains undeclared pistachios, was sent to distribution centers in Michigan and eight other states.

A New Jersey company is recalling nearly half a ton of deli meat after it didn't include pistachios as an ingredient on the label, the USDA said. The meat was sent to distribution centers in Michigan and eight other states.

Dietz & Watson, based in Mount Olive, New Jersey, is recalling 468 pounds of its Deli Thin Mortadella packages, after a distributor noticed the nuts through the clear packaging. The meat is not supposed to include pistachios, and the ingredient was not on the label.

Only the 3-ounce plastic packages with Lot# LO23633800 and a Best By Date of April 2, 2017 are affected by the recall. The recalled packaged have the establishment number "EST. 7543B” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
