A massive meat recall prompted by listeria concerns is affecting products from some of the most popular grocery stores in the US, including Walmart, Public, Target, Aldi, Amazon, Trader Joe’s and more.

Precooked meat producer BrucePac has released more information about products affected by its nearly 10 million-pound recall first announced by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Wednesday. Routine testing found evidence of listeria monocytogenes in BrucePac’s ready-to-eat poultry, which can cause listeriosis infection if consumed.

USDA and BrucePac initially issued a general warning about the approximately 9,986,245 pounds of meat and poultry subject to recall, followed by subsequent updates on specific products and locations where they are sold. The affected products were shipped to establishments and distributors across the country, including restaurants and other food institutions, and appear in salads, frozen meals and other prepackaged foods of different brands sold at different locations.

As of Sunday, the USDA has a 326-page document of specific retailers, brands and food products that contain the recalled meats. This is what we know.
