Pre-cooked meat producer BrucePac has released the list of 75 affected products in a nearly 10 million-pound recall announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Wednesday.
According to the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) notice, roughly 9,986,245 pounds of product are subject to the recall after routine testing found evidence of Listeria monocytogenes on BrucePac ready-to-eat poultry. The presence of L. monocytogenes can cause a listeriosis infection if adulterated foods are consumed.
Affected products were shipped to establishments and distributors nationwide, including restaurants and other food institutions. Affected foods have production dates as late as Oct. 8, meaning they are likely still in consumers' fridges or freezers and available on shelves, in restaurants and at other establishments, FSIS warned.

Ready-to-eat meat and poultry items produced from June 19, 2024, to October 8, 2024, with establishment numbers "51205 or P-51205" on the packaging are subject to the recall. This includes 75 different different products made by BrucePac.

What to do if you have a recalled product
The USDA advises consumers who have purchased these products not to eat them and instead throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Retailers with the products in stock are likewise advised not to sell recalled products and to dispose of or return them.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions linked to these products, but anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact their healthcare provider.

Listeriosis, or listeria poisoning, is a foodborne bacterial infection most commonly caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. It is considered a serious condition and can be dangerous or life-threatening, especially to older adults, people with weak immune systems and pregnant people.
