More than 1.7 million pounds of produce have been added to the BrucePac recall list as the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service released a preliminary list of schools across the country that received the affected products.

Produced between May 31 and October. 8, 2024, affected products made by Oklahoma precooked meat producer BrucePac were found to be possibly contaminated with listeria, according to the recall originally issued on Oct. 9. With the addition of 1,779,040 pounds of product, the total weight included in the recall is up to 11,765,285 pounds.

“We are committed to providing safe and high quality products,” states an FAQ note on BrucePac’s website. “We are working closely with the USDA to ensure that all necessary actions are taken to ensure a safe food supply. We will not resume production until we are confident that the issue has been resolved.”
