(Radio Iowa) – The recall of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products sold at major retailers like Target, Walmart, Costco and Trader Joes has expanded. The recall is due to possible listeria contamination of meat and poultry from BrucePac, an Oklahoma meat producer and it now covers nearly 12 million pounds of ready-to-eat products. It affects over 300 branded products like burritos, chicken wraps, salads, pastas and other items. Consuming products contaminated with listeria can cause a serious infection and, in some cases, lead to death.

The recall of BrueePac products now includes food distributed to U-S schools, but no Iowa schools or preschools are included on the U-S-D-A’s preliminary list.
