Many different kinds of meat and poultry are affected; read the list carefully
BrucePac, a company that makes ready-to-eat meat and poultry products, is recalling almost 10 million pounds of its food because some of it was found to have Listeria, which is a bacteria that can make people sick.
Here's what you need to know
-
Lots of products are recalled: This includes many different types of fully cooked meat and poultry products from the refrigerated and freezer sections.
-
Sold at many stores: The recalled products were sold at Aldi, Walmart, H-E-B, Trader Joe's, and other grocery stores.
-
Check the label: Look for the numbers "51205" or "P-51205" inside or under the USDA mark of inspection to see if your product is included in the recall.
-
Don't eat it: If you have any of these products, don't eat them. Throw them away or return them to the store.
Why is Listeria dangerous?
Listeria can cause a serious infection called listeriosis, which can be especially dangerous for pregnant women, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.
What to do if you think you ate contaminated food:
If you think you might have eaten one of these products and you're feeling sick, contact your doctor.
This recall is a good reminder to always check for food recalls and to handle and cook food properly to prevent food poisoning.
