Meat Recall Extended to Include Meals Sold at Michigan Meijer, Kroger, Walmart
A massive meat recall has been extended to include nearly 10 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products sold at Kroger, Meijer, Walmart, Target, and other retailers in Michigan and throughout the United States.
According to the USDA Food and Inspection Service, the recall is due to a possible listeria contamination.
Class I Health Hazard
A Class I recall reflects a "health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product(s) will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death," according to the USDA.
All of the affected products have been traced to BrucePac, a meat producer which is based in Oklahoma.
Recall Expanded
Last week a general recall was issued, but this week the recall has been expanded to include specific retailers and brands. Nationally, the recall includes salads, frozen meals, and pre-packaged meals sold at Walmart, Kroger, Target, Trader Joe's, Aldi, GFS, and Miejer.
