THURSDAY, July 3, 2025 — Kraft Heinz Foods is recalling some 370,000 pounds of fully cooked turkey bacon products that may be contaminated with listeria, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service said.

Listeria is a type of bacteria that can contaminate food and cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily strikes older adults, people with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns.

Symptoms of listeriosis can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions, sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms, according to the USDA.

The contamination was discovered via laboratory testing. There have been no confirmed reports of illness due to consumption of the recalled turkey bacon products.

The recalled products were produced from April 24, 2025, through June 11, 2025.

Items include:

These products have the USDA mark of inspection on the front of the label. They were shipped to retail locations nationwide. Some were exported to the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Individuals who are concerned about potential illness should consult their healthcare provider.

Consumers with food safety questions can call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-674-6854.
