Key Points:
- Kayem Foods Inc. has recalled over 1.5 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat products, including bacon, deli meats, and poultry, due to improper temperature storage that may have compromised food safety.
- The recall was initiated after a complaint about warm product temperatures led to an investigation revealing inconsistent cooler temperatures that could cause spoilage and bacterial growth.
- Recalled products, produced between March 31 and October 7, bear USDA inspection numbers EST. M/P 7839, EST. P 20935A, and EST. M 9520, and were distributed nationwide and to Hong Kong.
- Consumers are advised to discard or return recalled products and not to consume them, as cooking will not guarantee safety; unsafe meat may not show visible signs of spoilage.
- To prevent similar issues, consumers can use digital thermometers, insulated grocery bags, ice packs, and meat thermometers to maintain proper food storage and cooking temperatures for non-recalled products.
