Why Bacon Is Being Recalled

According to information released by the United States Department of Agriculture, more than 360,000 pounds of bacon are being recalled due to potential listeria monocytogenes contamination.

The recall includes the popular Oscar Mayer brand bacon, which is part of Kraft Heinz Foods Company.

The USDA says the bacon was already shipped to stores throughout the U.S. and other countries before the potential contamination was discovered by laboratory testing.
