The turkey bacon was produced from April 24 through June 11, and the following labels were recalled.
According to FSIS, the products subject to recall bear the USDA mark of inspection on the front of the label. The items photographed above were sold at retail locations nationwide, and some were sent to the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong.
FSIS said that officials found the program after laboratory testing at the establishments showed that the product could have been contaminated with LM. At this time, there have been no confirmed reports of customers having reactions due to the consumption of the products.
“Consumption of food contaminated with Lm can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected,” FSIS said.
Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions that sometimes could be preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms, FSIS stated.
FSIS said, “Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.”
