Kraft Heinz has recalled more than 367,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer turkey bacon due to potential Listeria contamination.
The recall affects approximately 367,812 pounds of fully cooked turkey bacon products produced between April 24, 2025, and June 11, 2025, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
FSIS stated that routine testing revealed the product may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes (Lm). This bacterium can cause serious infections, particularly among older adults, individuals with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and their newborns.
