Public health authorities are urging Americans to check their fridges and freezers after recalling more than 11 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry items over possible listeria contamination.

The Oregon-based company BrucePac, which sells pre-cooked proteins, is recalling 11,765,285 pounds of meat and poultry that it shipped to grocery stores, restaurants, schools and other institutions nationwide, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

The FSIS says it detected listeria during routine testing of finished products containing BrucePac poultry, which a subsequent investigation confirmed as the source.

9 people have died in connection to the listeria outbreak among Boar's Head products​

The bacteria can cause a serious infection that is especially dangerous for people who are pregnant, over 65 or have weakened immune systems. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions linked to the products, it adds.

Authorities first announced the recall last week, but have since expanded it to cover more than one million additional pounds of meat and poultry products. That amounts to hundreds of items from dozens of popular brands, sold at over a dozen grocery chains across the country.

The USDA also confirmed this week that the products have been distributed to schools and says it will post a school distribution list on its website once one is available.

The recalled products include salads, wraps, pasta bowls, burritos, enchiladas and many other ready-made frozen and family meals, and come from brands including Fresh Express, Rao’s, Boston Market, Atkins, Dole, ReadyMeals, Taylor Farms, Home Chef and Signature Select.

The stores that carry them include Aldi, Amazon Fresh, Giant Eagle, H-E-B, Kroger, Meijer, Publix, Target, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, Wegmans and 7-Eleven.

Perdue recalls 167,000 pounds of frozen chicken that may contain metal​

The affected goods were produced between May 31 and Oct, 8 and bear the establishment numbers “51205” or “P-51205” either inside or underneath the USDA mark of inspection. But BrucePac cautioned that the number is only on packages it ships directly to customers, not retail packages.

“Because we sell to other companies who resell, repackage, or use our products as ingredients in other foods, we do not have a list of retail products that contain our recalled items,” the company said in a statement, adding that the best way for people to identify contaminated products is through the USDA website or by calling the company or retailer from which they got the package.

The USDA is maintaining a list of recalled products — which is 345 pages long as of Wednesday — and urging people to use the search function to look up individual products, stores and brands and throw away any that they may have at home.

Go eat a bunch of it.

Good thing I rarely buy pre-packaged and process foods and dislike liverwurst (a variant of pate that is disgusting too).

And this is on top of the huge Boars Head tainted meat recall just a few months ago, that then the biggest tainted meat recall in over a decade.

Our room to mock the Chinese about tainted food is evaporating.

The Chinese have fucked up far more than food

How about rebar made with radioactive steel?

The Curious Case of Radioactive Apartments

One day in October 1982, 604 tons of scrap metal arrived at the Hsin Jong Iron and Steel Company in Taiyuan, Taiwan. It was soon melted down and used to produce over 20,000 tons of rebar, which between 1982 and 1983 was used in the construction of more than 200 buildings throughout Taiwan...

Much of what China makes is substandard, lacking in quality control, and often downright unusable because of the poor quality.

I am hopeful that if Trump is elected President that the MAGA folks are able to strip away regulations like food safety stuff that just adds to the cost of goods.

If we could go back to BEFORE 1906 I think we would ALL be in better shape.

Well, you're safe then! Because these regulations and the ones like it ONLY apply to the stuff YOU don't buy personally.

And it will only get better if you MAGAts get more regulations repealed! Make America Great Again!!!!!

I'm sure they would if the regulations weren't in place to keep it off the shelves and keep the mouthbreathers safe from themselves.

Besides if you live in the boonies and eat clay and roadkill you can probably handle a pretty high microbe load.

Scared little puddy cat trying to scare others. You are also lying about Trump repealing important safeguards.

You are a liar and a propagandist.

Please let us also here from you how Trump is the reincarnation of Hitler and how he will remove the Constitution.

^^^^^^THIS. This is why we in America VALUE regulations.

Prior to the Safe Food and Drug Act of 1906 (thanks Progressives!) this would have just been another day at the grocery store. No one would care except the families of those who died and no one would be held accountable for it. The information would never be put out for people to avoid the meat and more and more people would be harmed.

This is why I find the MAGA push to deregulate industry with a giant axe to be so poorly thought out. Sure there are regulations that are onerous and maybe even stupid. But at their heart regulations are there for our safety by and large.

Scared little puddy cat trying to scare others. You are also lying about Trump repealing important safeguards.

Trump actually DID attempt to remove critical safeguards. During his tenure his adminstration repealed rules on maintaining workplace injury records, proposed the elimination of the Chemical Safety Board, attempted to cut workplace safety training, weakened mine safety regulations, and proposed the elimination of child labor laws. They also pushed to overturn the ban on at least one toxic pesticide. In 2019 the Trump administration allowed unlimited increases in line speeds for industrial hog slaughtering (an extremely dangerous industry for workers). IN 2020 Trump rolled back inspection rules for egg products.

So I'd say he has a pretty solid track record of doing exactly that.

LOL. Not everyone forgot what Trump did in his first term. Just you guys.

I sense you guys in MAGA are going to be REALLY surprised by what Trump would do in his second term. Those of us who remember our history class already know how the story goes.

Enjoy!
