WASHINGTON — A recall involving nearly 10 million pounds of meat and poultry now includes products sold at several popular supermarkets across the country.
The BrucePac recall was issued earlier this week and includes approximately 9,986,254 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry.
On Thursday night, the list of products impacted by the recall was updated to include some pre-packaged salads, sandwich wraps and frozen meals sold at Walmart, Trader Joe's, H-E-B, Sam's Club and Aldi stores.
Albertsons voluntarily recalled 12 ready-to-eat meals and store-made deli products on Friday related to the recall.
The roughly 5,000 tons of ready-to-eat foods were recalled this week after U.S. Agriculture Department officials detected listeria in samples of poultry during routine testing. Further tests identified BrucePac chicken as the source.

Listeria infections typically cause fever, muscle aches and tiredness and may cause stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. Symptoms can occur quickly or to up to 10 weeks after eating contaminated food. The infections are especially dangerous for older people, those with weakened immune systems or who are pregnant.
No adverse effects related to the recall have been reported, according to federal food inspectors.
Originally, the recall included industrial meat and chicken sold to restaurants and institutions. A full list of 75 affected products that were sold to restaurants and other commercial vendors can be found here.
