Check the meat in your freezer and refrigerator. The USDA is warning people about ready-to-eat meat and poultry products that have been recalled due to a possible listeria contamination. They include more than 300 items from many popular brands sold at major retailers, including 7-Eleven, Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, Walmart, Target, Kroger, Meijer, HEB and more. The recall covers numerous items sold under popular brands such as Dole, Marketside, Atkins, Great Value, Good & Gather, Fresh Express and others. The USDA says nearly 10 million pounds of products are subject to recall, including items like pre-made salad kits and frozen dinners.
The meat was produced by Brucepac, a food company in Oklahoma. The 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.
Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.
