Thousands of Pounds of Bacon Recalled Due to Import Error
28 Jul
Summary
- Over 12,000 pounds of bacon were recalled by Maple Leaf Foods.
- The recall is due to an import violation for bacon without reinspection.
- No illnesses or injuries have been reported concerning the recalled product.
Maple Leaf Foods has initiated a recall impacting over 12,000 pounds of bacon. This action was prompted by an import violation, specifically that the bacon entered the United States without the required reinspection process. The recalled items are not-ready-to-eat smoked bacon, produced in June and marked with "EST. 1".
Distribution of the affected bacon included Grocery Outlet stores in several states, with Oregon specifically mentioned. The Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued the notice on July 24. While no adverse health effects have been reported, consumers in possession of the recalled bacon are urged to dispose of it or return it to the point of purchase.
