So much for the very particular flavor: the taste of the pork is combined with the smoking and the spices in the act of preparation. This makes porchetta one of Italy’s most distinctive regional products. Porchetta d’Ariccia (pixabay)

But be warned: porchetta lovers will need to be careful where to buy it these days. In fact, the Department of Health yesterday issued a recall notice for a specific brand that produces and sells this type of salami.

In fact, it seems that the wrappers of porchetta di Ariccia from Iperal supermarkets have been infected. Microbiological risk, as explained by the ministry. That is to say, during the preparation and packaging of the product, it is possible to have come into contact with microbes and bacteria that theoretically become harmful to the human organism.

The Iperal supermarket chain is typical of the Lombardy region. The stores are in fact limited to the provinces of Sondrio, Lecco, Como, Varese, Monza Brianza, Brescia and Bergamo. Therefore, the inhabitants of these areas must at all costs avoid buying and consuming the porchetta of the same brand and of the same production.
