A company is recalling nearly 10 million pounds of meat and poultry products made at an Oklahoma plant because they may be contaminated with listeria bacteria that can cause illness and death.

BrucePac of Woodburn, Oregon, recalled the roughly 5,000 tons of ready-to-eat foods this week after U.S. Agriculture Department officials detected listeria in samples of poultry during routine testing. Further tests identified BrucePac chicken as the source. The recall includes 75 meat and chicken products.

The foods include products like grilled chicken breast strips that were made at the company’s facility in Durant, Oklahoma. They were produced between June 19 and Oct. 8 and shipped to restaurants, food service vendors and other sites nationwide, government officials said.

The products have a best-by date of June 19, 2025 to Oct. 8, 2025. Officials said they are concerned that the foods may still be available for use or stored in refrigerators or freezers. The products should be thrown away, they added.

1. Clearly, the gov't should not be involved with policing company products.

This way, we won't have to face these types of recalls.




June 19, 2025 to Oct. 8, 2025 is a long time to not detect problems.

2. I remember the RWNJs back in the 80s talking about how the market was the best way for companies to be policed.

I watched ABC back then an finally gave up for the longest time. There was absolutely no push back on this nonsense. Ralph Nader and anyone else who might have exposed the absurdity of these ideas was simply disappeared and not allowed to respond. Instead we got George Will and Cokie Roberts who were just fine with the rightward tilt of the country. I gave up on the Sunday morning talk shows. Unfortunately, TV was my main source of news for the longest time until I stopped watching entirely in 2003 for over a decade.
This outbreak of food poisoning is the result of a decades long effort to "get the government off the backs of the people" as Reagan would say.
