The massive recall affects turkey bacon that was produced between April 24, 2025, and June 11, 2025.

To date, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions linked to these products. However, consuming food contaminated with Listeria can cause serious infections, particularly in people with weakened immune systems. The USDA’s Food Service and Inspection Service (FSIS) urges consumers to check their refrigerators and freezers for the contaminated product. Additionally, FSIS recommends that those who have the products in their possession either throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
