According to a release, the products contain pistachios, a tree nut, which is not listed on the product's labeling.

The sausage products are labeled as "Mortadella Classica" but are Mortadella Pistachio products.

The products were produced July 29 and bear the recall establishment number "Est. 39928" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
