Kraft Heinz turkey bacon recall overview:

• Who: Kraft Heinz Foods Company is recalling 367,812 pounds of Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon Original.
• Why: The recall is due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
• Where: The recall is effective in the United States, the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong.

Kraft Heinz Foods Company has initiated a recall of more than 367,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon Original, produced between April 24 and June 11, 2025, and distributed across the United States, the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong, due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

The recall was announced on July 2 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). 

The affected products include 12-ounce, 36-ounce and 48-ounce packages of Oscar Mayer Turkey BACON ORIGINAL, with specific universal product codes and “use by” dates ranging from July 18, 2025, to Sept. 4, 2025. The products also bear lot codes RS19, RS40 or RS42 and display the USDA mark of inspection on their labels.

Consumers urged to check refrigerators and not to consume products, recall states

The potential contamination was identified through laboratory testing conducted by Kraft Heinz, which indicated the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. 

Kraft Heinz urges consumers to check their refrigerators and freezers for the recalled products and advises not to consume the affected items.

“Consumption of food contaminated with Lm can cause listeriosis, a serious infection,” the recall notice states. Listeriosis can lead to severe health issues, particularly in older adults, individuals with weakened immune systems and pregnant women and their newborns.

Kraft Heinz is actively working to address the issue by notifying retailers and ensuring the recalled products are removed from shelves.

Consumers seeking more information can contact Kraft Heinz’s consumer hotline at 1-800-280-7185 or email [email protected]. Additionally, the FSIS website provides updates on the Kraft Heinz turkey bacon recall and retail distribution lists.

Kraft Heinz says it has not received any reports of illness or injury related to the recall so far. The company is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.

Recently, Boar’s Head Provisions Co. agreed to a $3.1 million settlement to resolve class action claims that it sold recalled meat products contaminated with listeria.
