BrucePac is recalling over 9 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry that was contaminated with Listeria.
The Oklahoma-based company announced that these products were produced from June 19, 2024, to as recently as October 8, 2024. They were shipped to other stores and distributors throughout the United States.
Product labels and the list of products effected in the recall will be made available imminently, according to a notice from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
For now, any products that bear establishment numbers '51205 or P-51205' inside or under the USDA inspection mark are subject to the recall.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service, an agency contained within the USDA, discovered the listeria during routine product testing.
Ready-to-eat chicken tested positive for the deadly bacteria and was later identified as the source of the contamination.

Eating food with Listeria monocytogenes, the full name of the bacteria, can cause a person to develop a listeriosis infection, which is extremely dangerous for elderly adults, those with compromised immune systems and pregnant women along with their newborns.
This is a breaking news story.
