Nearly 368,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer turkey bacon products were voluntarily recalled over possible contamination with listeria bacteria, health officials said.

Eating food contaminated by listeria bacteria can lead to listeriosis, which is an infection affecting those with weak immune systems.

Pregnant women, babies, and elderly adults are especially at risk of the infection, according to the US Department of Agriculture.

Around 260 people die each year from listeria infections, according to the CDC.

No illnesses from the turkey bacon have been confirmed so far.

Symptoms for listeria infections include fever, muscle aches, stiff neck, confusion, tiredness, headache, and convulsions.

Kraft Heinz’s recall warns about both fully cooked and vacuum-packed Oscar Mayer turkey bacon.

The products were produced between April 24 and June 11.

The recall impacts a total of 367,812 pounds of turkey bacon.

Lab testing found the potential contamination, prompting the recall.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service issued the highest risk level to the recall, meaning there’s a “reasonable probability” of contamination.

“At Kraft Heinz, nothing matters more to us than the safety of our products and the well-being of the families who trust them,” a company spokesperson said.

“In line with our safety protocols, we are actively working with all retail partners and distributors to remove the potentially impacted product from circulation.”

Customers shouldn’t eat the products, which could either be kept in their fridge or freezer.
