These products were shipped to other establishments and distributors nationwide then distributed to restaurants and institutions,” the FSIS stated. According to the New York Post, BrucePac’s brand names include Urban Bruce and City Grillers. Almost 10 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry are being recalled due to potential Listeria contamination, the USDA announced. https://t.co/jC71SEcWGI — Health (@health_com_) October 10, 2024 Per FSIS: The products subject to recall bear establishment numbers “51205 or P-51205” inside or under the USDA mark of inspection. The problem was discovered after FSIS performed routine product testing of finished product containing RTE poultry products produced by BrucePac and confirmed those products positive for Listeria monocytogenes. Subsequent FSIS investigation identified BrucePac RTE chicken as the source of the Listeria monocytogenes. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider. Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected. “Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms,” the announcement added. From the New York Post: The USDA published a full list of products that were recalled. “Restaurants, institutions, and other establishments are urged not to serve or use these products,” the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said on Wednesday. “These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.” #Alert BrucePac Recalls Ready-To-Eat Meat and Poultry Products Due to Possible Listeria Contamination https://t.co/eeyJTpmVf0 — USDA Food Safety & Inspection Service (@USDAFoodSafety) October 9, 2024 The recall includes approximately 75 products.
