BURRILLVILLE, R.I. — A Rhode Island meat company recalled 1.24 million pounds of pepper-coated salami Saturday after officials conducting a months-long, multistate investigation of a salmonella outbreak compared shopping receipts of those who got sick.
The recall by Daniele International Inc. comes amid an outbreak that has sickened 184 people in 38 states since July.
Public health investigators in Washington state found that many of the state’s 14 residents who got sick shopped at the warehouse retailer Costco, said William Keene, a senior epidemiologist at the public health division in Oregon. Costco has posted notice of Daniele’s recall on its website.
