Big Meat Recall Across Minnesota and the US
The recall was issued by the company BrucePac, out of Woodburn, Oregon. They produce pre-cooked proteins like chicken, beef, pork, and turkey.
Tons of stores across the country sell their products and now they're being hit with this big recall that keeps expanding.
The original recall was for almost 10 million pounds, now it's up to 12 million pounds of pre-cooked proteins. It's all being recalled due to "detected listeria in samples of poultry during routine testing" according to KARE 11.

Stores in Minnesota that are impacted by this recall include Target, Walmart, Aldi, and Trader Joe's. Others across the country include 7-Eleven, Amazon Fresh, H-E-B, Giant Eagle, Raley's, Wegmans, Kroger, Publix, and Meijer.
If you purchase pre-cooked chicken at any of those stores, make sure you check your fridge.
