Share LinkedIn Pin EmailMel Melcon/Los Angeles Times/TNSMeat producer BrucePac is recalling nearly 10 million pounds of meat and poultry products sold at Trader Joe’s, Target, Kroger, and other retailers because they might be contaminated with listeria. The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the sweeping recall last week. It includes hundreds of ready-to-eat items that were produced from June 19 to October 8 and distributed to restaurants, grocery stores, and other businesses around the country. The outbreak was discovered after government inspectors performed routine testing of products containing poultry produced by BrucePac and found them to be positive for listeria. There have been no confirmed reports of people becoming sick from consuming the products, which should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
