The affected products have been distributed nationally.

These ready-to-eat cooked meat products may have been sold pre-packaged under the brands listed above. They may also have been sold at deli counters and the original brand or exact product name may not have been transferred to the consumer packages. Persons who may have purchased these products and do not know the original brand and/or product name are advised to check with their retailer or supplier to determine if they have the affected product.

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products.

To avoid illness, consumers are advised not to eat these recalled ready-to-eat meat products. Throw them out instead.

Food contaminated with foodborne pathogens may not look or smell spoiled. Consumption of food contaminated with these organisms may cause foodborne illness, sometimes called food poisoning. Symptoms vary by organism, but can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fever, headache, dizziness and neck stiffness. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may be more at risk.
