Routine testing was conducted by the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which ultimately confirmed that the ready-to-eat products contained listeria. Symptoms of listeria infections include fever, vomiting, nausea, headaches and neck stiffness. Elderly people, young children, those with weakened immune systems and people who are pregnant are most at risk of life-threatening illness due to listeria.

Fortunately, there have been no reported illnesses due to the contamination. If you experience symptoms of listeria infection after consuming any of the impacted meat, you should contact your healthcare provider.



If you have purchased any of the listed products, you are advised to return them to the place of purchase. Restaurants and other establishments are also urged to discontinue using these products and to discard them or return them as well. If you have any questions regarding the recall you can contact Jeff Golangco, VP of Business Development at BrucePac, at (503) 874-3000 or call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at (888) 674-6854.

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a food recall every other week? It seems like this has been a constant thing for...it feels like half a year at this point. Just me? Is anybody else noting this?

Good to know thanks for sharing, and I do feel like there’s been more and more food recalls not to mention an overall lowering in quality

Blame the deregulation of the meat industry. Seriously. Some states have passed pretty bizzare laws to prevent inspectors from fining places that do bad stuff. Like forcing state and federal meat inspectors to wear actual paper bags over their heads. Yeah...I'm not kidding...that's actual law. Even if the inspectors find a violation, the maximum fine they can impose is only a few thousand dollars or such (which is penny cash to the industry).
