Conagra Brands is recalling nearly 2.6 million kilos of its canned Vienna sausage and chicken products attributable to packaging issues that might cause contamination without consumers even noticing.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Tuesday that items produced between Dec. 12, 2022, and Jan. 13, 2023, from brands including Goya, Kroger and Great Value can have damaged cans that might allow foodborne pathogens to enter.
Various products of various sizes shipped to retail stores nationwide fall under the recall. The federal government is urging consumers to ascertain their recently purchased cans for rather a lot variety of P4247. If the number is printed on the can, people should throw it away or return it.
While canned meat will likely be shelf stable, these targeted products could also be leaking fluids and spoiling easily.
“The cans subject to recall can have been damaged in a way that isn’t readily apparent to consumers, which can allow foodborne pathogens to enter the cans,” the USDA said in a press release.
The agency said Tuesday it has received no reports of illness related to this recall, but a consumer may not experience the symptoms of eating contaminated meat until days later. Symptoms could include vomiting, nausea, headaches, diarrhea and stomach cramps.
