Cudahy Recalls Bacon Bits

A customer of Patrick Cudahy, a Wisconsin pork products company, did its own testing on a delivery of bacon bits and found that the product may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a potentially deadly pathogen.

The discovery led to a recall of approximately 3,590 pounds of pre-cooked, smoked bacon bits that had been sold to restaurants and other institutional accounts in Wisconsin, California, Colorado, Florida, South Dakota and Texas.

The company's recall, announced late Saturday by the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), applies to 10-pound packages of the bacon bits that were produced Nov. 13. FSIS said it has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of the products.

Two different bacon bits are subject to the recall:

10-pound cases of "golden Crisp APPLEWOOD SMOKED PRECOOKED BACON TOPPINGS.'' The products bear the establishment number "Est. 28" inside the USDA mark of inspection as well as a printed Julian date of "8318."

10-pound cases of "John Morrell APPLEWOOD SMOKED PRECOOKED BACON TOPPINGS." The products bear the establishment number "Est. 28" inside the USDA mark of inspection as well as a printed Julian date of "8318.''

Here are the product labels:

Consumption of food contaminated by Listeria monocytogenes is a risk for young children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems. The bacteria can lead to listeriosis, a potentially fatal disease. Symptoms of infection include stiff neck, nausea, severe headache and high fever.
