Nearly 10 million lbs. of ready-to-eat meat and poultry recalled
(Gray News) – Nearly 10 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products have been recalled due to a possible listeria contamination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Wednesday.
The approximately 9,986,245 pounds of meat were produced by BrucePac, a food company located in Durant, Oklahoma.
According to the recall, the ready-to-eat products were produced from June 19, 2024, to Oct. 8, 2024, and shipped to distributors nationwide.
The products subject to recall bear establishment numbers “51205 or P-51205” inside or under the USDA mark of inspection.
So far there have been no confirmed reports of illness, but anyone with concerns should contact a healthcare professional.
Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.
The problem was discovered after FSIS performed routine testing of the meat and identified BrucePac RTE chicken as the source.
Restaurants, institutions and other establishments are urged not to serve or use these products. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
