BrucePac Expands Recall to 11.8 Million Pounds of Meat Over Listeria Concerns

The USDA warns that potentially contaminated products have reached schools, as the recall grows to include more ready-to-eat items.

The BrucePac recall initially covered nearly 10 million pounds of meat but has expanded to 11.8 million pounds due to potential listeria contamination.
The USDA has identified that some of the recalled products have been distributed to schools, though specific locations are not yet disclosed.
Consumers are advised to discard or return any potentially affected products, with a full list available on FSIS.gov.
Symptoms of listeria infection can take up to 70 days to appear and pose significant risks to pregnant women, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
Food safety experts emphasize the importance of proper manufacturing practices and increased testing to prevent such widespread contamination.
