A massive meat recall prompted by listeria concerns is affecting products in some of the most popular grocery stores across the U.S., including Walmart, Public, Target, Aldi, Amazon, Trader Joe's and more.
Pre-cooked meat producer BrucePac has released more information about the products impacted by its nearly 10 million-pound recall first announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Wednesday. Routine testing found evidence of listeria monocytogenes on BrucePac ready-to-eat poultry, which can cause a listeriosis infection if consumed.
Initially, USDA and BrucePac released a general warning about the roughly 9,986,245 pounds of meat and poultry subject to recall, followed by later updates on specific products and locations where they are sold. Affected products were shipped to establishments and distributors nationwide, including restaurants and other food institutions, and appear in salads, frozen meals and other pre-packaged foods off different brands sold at a variety of locations.
As of Sunday, the USDA has a 326-page document of specific retailers, brands and food items containing the recalled meats. Here's what we know.
What kinds of products are recalled?
Sandwiches, wraps and salads are the primary prepared foods affected by the recall. Frozen meals containing chicken products ranging from pastas and burritos to bowls and family meals are also affected.

What to do if you have a recalled product

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions linked to these products, but anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact their healthcare provider.
Listeriosis or listeria poisoning symptoms
Listeriosis, or listeria poisoning, is a foodborne bacterial infection most commonly caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. It is considered a serious condition and can be dangerous or life-threatening, especially to older adults, people with weak immune systems and pregnant people.
According to the USDA, symptoms include:
- Fever
- Muscle aches
- Headache
- Stiff neck
- Confusion
- Loss of balance
- Convulsions
- Diarrhea
- Other gastrointestinal symptoms
- Miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery and/or life-threatening infection of newborn infants

People in higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food, said the USDA.
