A company is recalling nearly 10 million pounds of meat and poultry made at an Oklahoma plant because the products may be contaminated with listeria bacteria.

BrucePac of Woodburn, Oregon, recalled the roughly 5,000 tons of ready-to-eat foods this week after U.S. Agriculture Department officials detected listeria in samples of poultry during routine testing. Further tests identified BrucePac chicken as the source. The recall includes 75 meat and chicken products.

The foods include products like grilled chicken breast strips that were made at the company’s facility in Durant, Oklahoma. They were produced between June 19 and Oct. 8 and shipped to restaurants, food service vendors and other sites nationwide, government officials said.

The products have a best-by date of June 19, 2025 to Oct. 8, 2025. Officials said they are concerned that the foods may still be available for use or stored in refrigerators or freezers. The products should be thrown away, they added.

    I feel like this has been a bad year for this shit. Boars Head had to recall 3500 tons of meat earlier this year, and 10 people died from listeria. Like, that’s 17 million pounds or 7 million kg of meat that had to be thrown away. That’s just from these two companies, so the real number is probably much higher.
