Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon Recall

Kraft is recalling Oscar Mayer turkey bacon that, due to “adulteration” may spoil before the “Best When Used By” date.  The  U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today that the company is recalling some 2,068,467 pounds of turkey bacon products.  The affected turkey bacon was packaged between May 31 and August 6 of this year and was sold throughout the country.

The products include:

  • 56 oz. cardboard boxes (containing four plastic wrapped packages) marked Oscar Mayer “Selects Uncured Turkey Bacon” bearing the plant number P-9070, the line number RS19 and Product UPC 0 4470007633 0, and with “Best When Used By” dates of 24 AUG 2015 through 26 OCT 2015.
  • 36 oz. cardboard boxes (containing three plastic wrapped packages) marked Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon “Smoked Cured Turkey Chopped and Formed” bearing the plant number P-9070, the line number RS19 and Product UPC 0 7187154874 8, and with “Best When Used By” dates of 28 AUG 2015 through 20 OCT 2015.
  • 48 oz. cardboard boxes (containing four plastic wrapped packages) marked Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon “Smoked Cured Turkey Chopped and Formed” bearing the plant number P-9070, the line number RS19 and Product UPC  0 7187154879 3, and with “Best When Used By” dates of 3 SEPT 2015 through 30 OCT 2015.  

These products have the number “P-9070” inside the USDA mark of inspection, as well as the line number “RS19”.                       

Kraft has reported that consumers became ill  after consuming these products.   In fact, this is a Class II recall, which is the middle level of three types and is defined as “a health hazard situation where there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from the use of the product.”  However, this is considered a low health risk.

Consumers should not eat the bacon. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact the Kraft Heinz Consumer Relations Center at (800) 278-3403.
