BrucePac meat recall includes these foods from Trader Joe’s, Kroger and more. Here’s a list.
Hundreds of products sold at grocery chains such as Kroger, Wegmans and Trader Joe’s are part of a BrucePac meat recall involving almost 10 million pounds of meat and poultry that may be contaminated with listeria bacteria, which can cause illness and death.
The products were disclosed Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in a 326-page list. Recalled products range from a Kroger Mexican-style street corn salad to a Wegmans salad bowl with chicken and uncured bacon. Other brands whose products are part of the recall include Taylor Farms, Boston Market, 7-Eleven, Aldi’s and Rao’s (see list below).
The recall, first announced October 9, was sparked by USDA officials detecting listeria in samples of ready-to-eat poultry products during routine testing. While the recall initially included 75 meat and chicken products, the expanded list covers hundreds of prepared meal products, from salads to pasta dinners, made with recalled meat from BrucePac’s Oklahoma plant.
