Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author states that an investigation into clusters of reported illnesses has convinced the CDC to issue a recall of more charcuterie products following the Jan. 5 recall of Busseto brand Charcuterie Sampler. However, this statement implies that there was no prior investigation and therefore it is unclear what evidence led to this decision by the CDC. Secondly, when discussing other products affected by the recall, such as Fratelli Beretta brand Antipasto Gran Beretta from Costco stores, the author does not provide any information on how these products are linked to the salmonella outbreak or if they have been implicated in any illnesses. This lack of detail makes it difficult for readers to understand why these specific products were included in the recall. Lastly, when discussing other recalls related to potential foreign material contamination, such as Coca-Cola products, there is no mention of how this relates to the current salmonella outbreak or if any additional products have been implicated.
