Hundreds of pounds of pork deli meat have been recalled in Washington, Oregon and Maine after an allergen was not printed on the packaging, a government agency said.

Olympia Meats recalled about 862 pounds of Olympia Provisions Mortadella Classica with Garlic and Spices, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced May 6.

The products include pistachios, but the tree nut was not included on the label, the agency said.

The recalled 4-pound packages have “best by” dates of June 13, 2022, and July 14, 2022, and batch codes of 0422 and 0402.

The recalled deli meat also has an established number of “EST. 39928.”

A customer made a complaint to the federal agency about the pistachios.

So far, no one has reported any adverse reactions from the recalled products, the agency said.

The agency said to throw away the products or return them to the place where it was purchased.

Mortadella is an Italian cold cut often flavored with pistachios that is popular on charcuterie boards.

Recalled products are announced on the USDA’s website.
