According to the USDA, a recall has been announced on Oscar Mayer turkey bacon products due to the bacon potentially being contaminated with Listeria.

The Kraft Heinz Food Company of Newberry, SC, announced the recall of fully cooked turkey bacon that was produced from April 24th through June 11th, 2025. The recall comes after the company’s laboratory testing revealed possible listeria contamination. Although no illnesses have been reported, Listeria can cause a serious infection that primarily affects seniors, individuals with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and newborns. However, people outside those risk groups can also be affected.
