A Salt Lake City facility run by Creminelli Fine Meats announced on June 28 that it recalled approximately 4,207 lbs of ready-to-eat (RTE) parmesan salami sticks due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

Responding to the results of its own nationwide survey regarding consumer attitudes toward chicken and plant-based alternatives, the National Chicken Council (NCC) has asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) for clearer guidance and enforcement of misleading product labels.

The committee has made important contributions to food safety issues, USDA said.

Chairman Clyburn started the investigation into the meatpacking industry in February.
