Listeria Reminder: Toss These 11 Chicken Products from Walmart, Trader Joe’s, Aldi, and More ASAP

A pre-cooked meat manufacturer that announced a recall last week is expanding its recall of ready-to-eat poultry foods sold at grocery stores including Walmart, Trader Joe’s and Aldi.

Meat supplier BrucePac initiated the recall after routine testing found evidence of listeria contamination on 10 million pounds of meat, including ready-to-eat poultry products.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service first sounded the alarm about the recall on October 9.

Further testing revealed that BrucePac’s ready-to-eat chicken was found in several products on retailers’ shelves, including a product found at Costco.

There are currently no illnesses or adverse events associated with the recall. However, federal officials may be concerned that products containing the recalled chicken could end up in restaurants, institutions or in consumers’ freezers.

The recalled products have been distributed to the following retailers, according to the USDA:

  • Trader Joe’s
  • Costco
  • Walmart
  • Aldi
  • Goal
  • HAVE
  • Giant Eagle
  • Kroger

The recalled products are also associated with well-known brand names such as:

  • Jenny Craig
  • Atkins
  • Select signature
  • Boston Market
  • Amazon verse
  • Michelinas
  • Raos
  • Crazy

The BrucePac recall includes these off-the-shelf items:
