Massive BrucePac Meat Recall Over Listeria Threat Impacts Schools and Retailers Nationwide

The USDA has expanded the recall to nearly 12 million pounds of ready-to-eat products due to potential contamination with listeria bacteria.

BrucePac's recall includes meat and poultry products distributed to over 200 schools across multiple states, impacting school cafeterias and retailers.
The recall was initiated after routine USDA testing found listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat chicken products produced in Durant, Oklahoma.
Affected products were sold under various brand names at major retailers like Walmart, Target, Trader Joe’s, and Kroger, among others.
No illnesses have been confirmed, but listeria poses serious health risks, particularly to children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals.
Consumers are advised to discard or return any recalled products, which are identified by establishment numbers 51205 or P-51205 under the USDA mark.
