WASHINGTON, April 18, 2007 - Patrick Cudahy, Inc., a Cudahy, Wis., firm, is
recalling approximately 5,625 pounds of ready-to-eat soppressata (salami) products due to the

and Inspection Service announced today.
The product label fails to list wheat, a potential known allergen, as an ingredient.
The following product is subject to recall: [View Label]
