Packaged food mak

ncerns that the products may be contaminated with Listeria bacteria, the U.S. food safety regulator said on Wedne
sday.
The recall will affect vacuum-packed, fully cooked turkey bacon prod
uced between April 24 and June 11, which was shipped to retailers nationwide as
well as exported to the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong, accordin
g to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due
to the consumption of these products, the regulator said.
The issue was identified after laboratory testing by FSIS indicated th
e product could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria contamination can lead to listeriosis, a serious infection t
hat primarily impacts individuals with weak immune systems.
Kraft Heinz did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The company said the affected individuals include certain
current and former employees, their dependents and beneficiaries as well
as others whose personal information was in its internal business files.
Ahold Delhaize USA said it detected a cybersecurity issue involving unauthorized access to cer
tain internal U.S. business systems on November 6, 2024. Its investigation identified that an unauthorized third party
obtained certain files between November 5 and 6, 2024 and that some fil
es may have contained personal information that it obtained in the course of providing services to Ahold Delhaize USA companies.
