WASHINGTON -  Kraft Heinz Foods Company is recalling approximately 367,812 pounds of fully cooked turkey bacon products nationwide due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the Class I recall Wednesday, deeming the products unfit for human consumption.

 The recall affects Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon Original products produced between April 24, 2025, and June 11, 2025. The affected products bear the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to retail locations across the country, with some also exported to the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong.

Affected products include:

  • 12-ounce vacuum-packed packages of "Oscar Mayer Turkey BACON ORIGINAL" with UPC "071871548601," "use by" dates ranging from July 18, 2025, to Aug. 2, 2025, and lot code "RS40."
  • 36-ounce packages containing three 12-ounce vacuum-packed packages of "Oscar Mayer Turkey BACON ORIGINAL" with UPC "071871548748," "use by" dates ranging from July 23, 2025, to Sept. 4, 2025, and lot codes "RS19," "RS40," or "RS42."
  • 48-ounce packages containing four 12-ounce vacuum-packed packages of "Oscar Mayer Turkey BACON ORIGINAL" with UPC "071871548793," "use by" dates ranging from July 18, 2025, to Sept. 4, 2025, and lot codes "RS19," "RS40," or "RS42."

The issue was discovered after the Newberry, S.C., establishment's laboratory testing indicated the product might be contaminated. As of Wednesday, there have been no confirmed reports of illness related to the consumption of these products.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, individuals with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions, sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. In pregnant women, listeriosis can lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn.

FSIS urges consumers who have purchased these products not to consume them. The turkey bacon should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase.
