More than 367,000lbs of turkey bacon has been recalled over listeria fears

It’s essential that the recalled products aren’t consumed.

It’s been a busy few months for product recalls in the US, with disease outbreaks and mislabelling errors seeing millions of products get the nod.

Cucumbers and tomatoes have both been recalled across various states since April, and several bologna products were recently called back over the discovery they contained undeclared meat ingredients.

While the recalled bologna wasn’t likely to cause any health upsets, the latest in 2025’s growing list of recalls carries a significant food poisoning risk.

Over 367,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer turkey bacon have had a voluntary recall issued by Kraft Heinz over potential listeria contamination.

Listeria is a regular food poisoning-causing bacteria that can cause mild, flu-like symptoms for healthy adults. However, for pregnant women, young children, the elderly and the immunocompromised it can cause severe illness including meningitis.

The recalled products were produced between 24 April and 11 June 2025 and were shipped across the US, the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong per the USDA’s announcement on 2 July 2025.

"At Kraft Heinz, nothing matters more to us than the safety of our products and the well-being of the families who trust them," said a Kraft Heinz spokesperson in an email to Fox News Digital. “In line with our safety protocols, we are actively working with all retail partners and distributors to remove the potentially impacted product from circulation."

The affected products are as follows:

  • 12-ounce packs of Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon Original. UPC code 071871548601, with use-by dates from 18 July to 2 August. Lot code RS40.
  • 36-ounce packs of Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon Original containing three 12-ounce packages of the product. UPC code 071871548748, with use-by dates from 23 July to 4 Sept. Lot codes RS19, RS40 and RS42.
  • 48-ounce packs of Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon Original containing four 12-ounce packages of the product. UPC code 071871548793, with use-by dates from 18 July to 4 September. Lot codes RS19, RS40 and RS42.

The USDA has urged anyone in possession of these products to throw them away or return them to from wherever they were purchased. It’s vital not to consume these products, given the listeria risk.

In its press release on the matter, it said: “The problem was discovered after the establishment's laboratory testing indicated the product may be contaminated with [Listeria monocytogenes].

“There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.”

A separate listeria outbreak in May 2025 saw 10 people hospitalised across California and Nevada, with Fresh & Ready Foods issuing a similar recall on a range of ready-to-eat products.
