Heinz Bacon Recall

Who buys Turkey Bacon anyway?
The way I see it, you have Bacon and you have Turkey.
The two are supposed to be mutually exclusive.
The only time you should ever see those two words together is Turkey and Bacon Sandwich.


Kraft Heinz is recalling 2 million pounds of bad bacon

 

Here’s how to tell if your breakfast is affected

Kraft Heinz is recalling more than 2 million pounds of turkey bacon that can prematurely spoil, it was announced Tuesday.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said that 2,068,467 pounds of Oscar Mayer turkey bacon “may be adulterated because it may spoil before the ‘Best When Used By’ date.” Kraft Heinz discovered the problem after it received “spoilage-related consumer complaints,” the USDA said.
The affected turkey bacon was packaged between May 31 and August 6 of this year, and the affected products are: Oscar Mayer “Selects Uncured Turkey Bacon” bearing the plant number P-9070, the line number RS19 and Product UPC 0 4470007633 0; 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 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.
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.” But even if you think you’ve purchased or eaten the bad bacon, fear not: the recall is classified as having low health risk.

who would want to eat bacon from John Kerry's wife's company that donates tons of money to environmental weenies like greenpeace? Do they market any whale meat? or do they donate to planned parenthood. Now there's some good veal right there.

It's being recalled because it doesn't have enough preservative to keep it from spoiling (as quickly).

OMG, there's chemicals in our food!!!!!!!

my husband's family used to butcher their own hogs, smoke their own meat, than hang it either in the attic (in winter) or
the summer kitchen (in warm weather) and just cut off bits as they needed it. You just cut off the moldy parts. No one got sick or sued.

I'm with Sarthurk, don't support ketchup boy's bottom line.
