Federal health officials expand warning about salmonella poisoning linked to trays of meat-based snacks sold at Sam's Club and Costco stores.

Federal health officials are expanding their warning about salmonella poisoning linked to trays of meat snacks sold at Sam's Club and Costco stores.

At least 47 people in 22 states have become ill and 10 people have been hospitalized after eating Busseto and Fratelli Beretta-branded meat, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials said Thursday.

The meat trays come in twin packages that include prosciutto, sweet soppressata, dry coppa or dry salami topped with black pepper, Italian dry salami, dry coppa, and prosciutto.

Salmonella poisoning can cause serious illness, especially in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. In rare cases, bacterial infection can be fatal.
