Listeria Causes Recall of Ready-to Eat Meat & Poultry

Ready-to-Eat Meat and Poultry Products Recalled After Testing Finds Listeria

This recall has been expanded to include almost 2 million more pounds of products. The link on this post has been updated to view the expanded article

BrucePac of Durant, OK, is recalling 9,986,245 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The problem was discovered after FSIS performed routine product testing of finished product containing RTE poultry products produced by BrucePac and confirmed those products were positive for Listeria monocytogenes. Subsequent FSIS investigation identified BrucePac RTE chicken as the source of the Listeria monocytogenes.


FSIS is concerned that some product may be available for use in restaurants, institutions, and other establishments. These other establishments may have used affected meat and poultry in RTE products that may be on store shelves or in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. The ready-to-eat meat and poultry items were produced from June 19, 2024, to Oct. 8, 2024. These products were shipped to other establishments and distributors nationwide then distributed to restaurants and institutions.
