A massive meat recall prompted by listeria concerns is affecting products in some of the most popular grocery stores across the U.S., including Walmart, Public, Target, Aldi, Amazon, Trader Joe's and more. Pre-cooked meat producer BrucePac has released more information about the products impacted by its nearly 10 million-pound recall first announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Wednesday. Routine testing found evidence of listeria monocytogenes on BrucePac ready-to-eat poultry, which can cause a listeriosis infection if consumed. Initially, USDA and BrucePac released a general warning about the roughly 9,986,245 pounds of meat and poultry subject to recall, followed by later updates on specific products and locations where they are sold. Affected products were shipped to establishments and distributors nationwide, including restaurants and other food institutions, and appear in salads, frozen meals and other pre-packaged foods off different brands sold at a variety of locations. As of Sunday, the USDA has a 326-page document of specific retailers, brands and food items containing the recalled meats. Here's what we know. Sandwiches, wraps and salads are the primary prepared foods affected by the recall. Frozen meals containing chicken products ranging from pastas and burritos to bowls and family meals are also affected. Find a full and expanding list at FSIS.gov.
