ConSup North America Inc. is recalling approximately 85,984 pounds of ready-to-eat sliced prosciutto ham  produced in Germany that was shipped to retail locations in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington, without the benefit of an equivalent inspection, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced.

The recalled sliced prosciutto ham, produced between September 25, 2023, and March 6, 2024, has been identified in 5.29-ounce plastic packages labeled as "Stockmeyer PROSCIUTTO Product of GERMANY." The affected packages bear lot codes 09118-3A, 09118-3B, 09120-3A, 09120-3B, 13133-3A, 13133-3B, 13104-3A, 13104-3B, 13105-3A, 13105-3B, 13109-3A, and 13109-3B, with "BEST BEFORE" dates ranging from April 28, 2024, to October 7, 2024.       

The issue came to light when Germany’s Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety notified FSIS that H. Klümper GmbH & Co. KG, a Germany establishment, produced a portion of the identified lots without the benefit of equivalent inspection and exported them to the U.S. for distribution.
