Nearly 10 Million Pounds of Ready-to-Eat Meat Recalled: USDA
Coming on the heels of a massive deli meat recall due to a listeria outbreak, a new warning has been issued as a major meat processor is recalling almost 10 million pounds of its product.
BrucePac is recalling 9,986,245 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products over fears of contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service warned.
Earlier this year, Boar’s Head recalled about 7 million pounds of deli meat after a listeria outbreak that left at least 10 people dead and 59 people sickened in an outbreak that affected residents of 19 states, according to The Washington Post. The plant where the contaminated meat was produced has since been closed.
