2.5 million pounds of Kroger, Great Value, Goya, and more brands of canned meat recalled over packaging defect
By News Desk on February 1, 2023
Conagra Brands Inc., of Fort Madison, IA, is recalling more than 2.5 million pounds of canned meat and poultry products because of a packaging defect that may cause the products to become contaminated without showing any outward signs of contamination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.
Recalled brands include Armour, Kroger, Goya, Prairie Belt, Hargis House, Grace, and Great Value.
The problem was discovered when the company notified FSIS after observing spoiled and/or leaking cans from multiple production dates at the establishment’s warehouse.
A subsequent investigation by the establishment determined that the cans subject to recall may have been damaged in a manner that is not readily apparent to consumers, which may allow foodborne pathogens to enter the cans.
FSIS is concerned that some products may be on retail shelves or in consumers’ pantries.
The meat and poultry products were produced between Dec. 12, 2022, and Jan. 13, 2023. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
