BrucePac of Woodburn, Oregon, recalled the roughly 5,000 tons of ready-to-eat foods this week after U.S. Agriculture Department officials detected listeria in samples of poultry during routine testing. Further tests identified BrucePac chicken as the source. The recall includes 75 meat and chicken products.

The foods include products like grilled chicken breast strips that were made at the company’s facility in Durant, Oklahoma. They were produced between June 19 and Oct. 8 and shipped to restaurants, food service vendors and other sites nationwide, government officials said.

The products have a best-by date of June 19, 2025 to Oct. 8, 2025. Officials said they are concerned that the foods may still be available for use or stored in refrigerators or freezers. The products should be thrown away, they added.

    Ah yeah, that industrial farming is much cleaner than traditional farming…

      Tbf listeria doesn’t develop in the farming portion of the food chain. It come from bits of meat starting to rot in the machines used to grind the meat up. Companies cutting back on cleaning staff and mandated machine cleaning procedures (ie: tearing the machine down at set intervals) is where the problem starts.

        So, “industrial food production” is an expansion of the term used and makes it more accurate as well.
