Here's what we know about the recent major meat recall

An Oklahoma facility has recalled nearly 10 million pounds of ready-to-eat beef and poultry because of possible listeria contamination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said. In an update to the announcement, it was revealed that foods from well-known brands such as Trader Joe's, Kroger, 7-Eleven, Amazon Kitchen and more are part of the recall.

The products were distributed to restaurants and institutions throughout the United States by BrucePac, which has a processing facility in Durant, Oklahoma. Although a full product list was previously released that included various types of grilled chicken, beef patties, beef fajita strips, and more, additional products and label information have since been added that could have been purchased by customers at a number of grocery stores.

“Consumers are encouraged to review the information carefully,” FSIS added to its original announcement.

The updated list can be found here. It includes burritos, pasta, various rice dishes and more. These items were sold at Walmart, Trader Joe's and various other chain stores. Approximately 9,986,245 pounds of ready-to-eat meat have been recalled, but at this time there have been no reports of illness related to the recall.

In a press release from BrucePac, the company stated, “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 urges consumers to instead visit the FSIS website for updated product listings “or call the company on the packaging or the retail location from which you purchased the products” if you believe you may have an affected product .

FSIS urges everyone to check if they have any of the listed products and immediately throw them away or return them to where they were purchased.

What is listeria?

Listeria is a bacteria that can cause listeriosis, a serious foodborne illness. Pregnant women and the elderly are at increased risk of developing serious symptoms associated with the condition.

Symptoms may include fever, muscle pain, headache, stiff neck, confusion, and gastrointestinal distress. In high-risk people, the disease can cause death. According to the Food and Drug Administration, pregnant women are 10 to 13 times more likely to develop listeriosis than others.
