9.9 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry recalled due to listeria concerns

Nearly 10 million pounds of BrucePac ready-to-eat meat and poultry products are being recalled.

The possibility of Listeria monocytogenes contamination prompted the Oklahoma-based company to recall the product total £9,986,245 various products, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said in a Wednesday warning posted on its website.

X also posted information about BrucePac’s withdrawal on his verified website.

FSIS said food adulterated with these bacteria can cause an infection called listeriosis, which “primarily affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), listeriosis may be “rare but serious.”

Infected people can potentially experience symptoms such as “fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and seizures, sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.” FSIS said.

There have been no reports of people experiencing adverse reactions to BrucePac products.

FSIS alleges that distributors across the country received shipments of potentially contaminated meat and poultry products and then distributed them to “restaurants and institutions.”
