USDA recalls 10 million pounds of meat and poultry after listeria outbreak
BrucePac, known for their custom pre-cooked proteins, is currently facing a recall situation. The USDA has identified products with establishment numbers “51205 or P-51205” as potentially contaminated with listeria, but specific brand names have not been disclosed.
### Uncertain Brands Involved
Brands like Urban Bruce and City Grillers are among those that manufacture meat for BrucePac, but it is unclear if they are part of the recall. The company also produces meat for private labels, raising concerns about other potentially affected products in the market.
### Recall Details
The affected products were manufactured between June 19 and October 8, 2024. Despite efforts to obtain more information from BrucePac and the USDA, specific product names have not been released. Thankfully, there have been no reported adverse reactions from consuming the recalled products.
Listeria was detected during routine USDA testing on BrucePac’s poultry products, raising concerns about potential exposure in restaurants and institutions. The USDA advises against consuming these products and recommends their disposal or return to the point of purchase.
This recall adds to ongoing food safety worries, following a recent recall of over 7 million pounds of meat by Boar’s Head due to a listeria outbreak. Stay tuned for updates on the situation as more information becomes available.
