WASHINGTON, DC—Kraft Heinz Foods Company is recalling more than 367,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer turkey bacon products due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced this week.
The recall affects fully cooked turkey bacon produced between April 24, 2025, and June 11, 2025, at the company’s Newberry, S.C., establishment.
The recalled products include (view labels – PDF):
- 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.”
These products bear the USDA mark of inspection on the front of the label and were shipped to retail locations nationwide, as well as exported to the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong.
The potential contamination was discovered after the company’s laboratory testing indicated the product might contain Listeria monocytogenes. As of Wednesday, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions linked 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 issues. In pregnant women, listeriosis can lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery, or life-threatening infections in newborns.
FSIS urges consumers who have purchased these products not to consume them. The affected turkey bacon should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase.
