Fox Business • • business
Key Points:
- Kayem Foods Inc. has voluntarily recalled nearly 1.6 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products, including hot dogs, bacon, brisket, and ham, due to potential "temperature abuse" during storage.
- The recall, classified at the highest safety level by the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), indicates a reasonable probability that consuming the products could cause serious health issues or death.
- The affected products were produced between March 31 and October 7 and were distributed nationwide and to Hong Kong, bearing specific USDA establishment numbers for identification.
- The issue was identified after a customer complaint about warm product temperatures, traced to a cooling-system malfunction in a warehouse, which Kayem Foods has since corrected.
- No illnesses have been reported so far, but consumers are advised to check their refrigerators for the recalled items and contact healthcare providers if they experience symptoms.
