BrucePac has announced a massive recall of the company's ready-to-eat poultry and meat products after routine testing showed that some of the items were contaminated with listeria.

The company is recalling nearly 10 million pounds of meat out of an abundance of caution, and advising customers and retailers alike to double-check their refrigerators and freezers to make sure that they don't have any of the contaminated meat on their shelves.

BrucePac recalled 75 ready-to-eat poultry and meat products due to listeria contamination.

On Oct. 9, 2024, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the BrucePac recall, which includes 9,986,245 pounds of product. The USDA raised the red flag after routine testing uncovered Listeria monocytogenes in some of the poultry products being manufactured by the company.

The USDA then updated the product recall list on Oct. 10, 2024, expanding the number of products to be recalled.

This is a Class 1 recall, which is the highest rating issued by the agencies responsible for these recalls.

As a reminder, listeria symptoms can vary in both type and severity, with those with compromised immune systems and those who are very young or very old experiencing the most intense effects.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say some symptoms of listeria infection include but are not limited to:

  • Diarrhea
  • Fever
  • Confusion
  • Vomiting
  • Headache or stiff neck
  • Seizures
  • Flu-like symptoms.
