A significant listeria outbreak has prompted the recall of nearly 12 million pounds of meat and poultry products across major retailers, including Walmart, Trader Joe’s, and Target. The recall, which includes over 300 ready-to-eat chicken and beef products, has expanded from an initial 10 million-pound alert. Affected products, many of which are popular meals sold at grocery chains like Kroger, Giant Eagle, and Costco, are being pulled from shelves due to contamination concerns. Consumers are urged to check their purchases and dispose of any implicated items immediately. The FDA and USDA are actively monitoring the situation as the recall impacts various states and multiple grocery outlets.
