What to know about listeria
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Listeriosis is an infection usually caused by eating food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
A recall of nearly 10 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry could impact hundreds of products across major retailers like Costco, Trader Joe’s, Target and Walmart.
BrucePac, a giant supplier based in Oklahoma, began recalling 9,986,245 total pounds of its ready-to-eat meat and poultry last week. Fears about listeria contamination prompted the recall.

Consumers who don't recognize the company may think they're in the clear — but BrucePac distributes its products to a variety of food sellers, and the chicken was used in hundreds of different products, according to a notice published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
In fact, the USDA released a 326-page document of all the products affected by the recall, listing hundreds of different items that may contain contaminated meat.
Only items with certain best-by dates or lot codes are affected.
Consumers are urged to consult the document, which is continuously being updated by the USDA, and to carefully check the full list of recalled products.
Here are some products at big retailers impacted by the recall, according to the USDA:
