Why Is This So Important?
Listeria can cause a serious illness (listeriosis) that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and their newborns.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service is concerned that people may still have these products in their homes and is advising that they either be thrown away or returned to the store where the turkey bacon was purchased.
