WHAT IS GOING ON?

I would say that I eat chicken more than any other meat during the week, so this recall stuff is starting to worry me.

Last week we announced the huge recall of Brucepac chicken products sold across the United States. Unfortunately, we originally thought that the recall was limited to just the BrucePac brand out of Oregon. We now know that more companies have been affected, including those that sell at Walmart, Aldi, Trader Joe's, Target, and Kroger.

THE LIST KEEPS GROWING

The list has now grown big enough to fill a 203-page document. Most of the products that are listed are either 'ready to eat salads' with a best-by date on or before October 13th. There are also frozen products from Great Value, Boston Market, H-E-B, EL Montrerey, and Amazon fresh products, to name some.

To learn about ALL of the products on the list, you can click HERE to get the full list of recalled items.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING

There is an ingredient supplier that has a foodborne illness issue; thus, all of the customers from that supplier can be affected.

IS LISTERIA SERIOUS?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are about 1600 people each year who come down with listeria. Of the 1600 people, approximately 260 of them will die because of listeria. Those that are most affected include children under the age of 5, adults over 65, and people who have immune system deficiencies. Also, women who are pregnant can have miscarriages or stillbirths.
