Meat eaters, check your fridges and freezers. Approximately 1,584,361 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products are now subject to a Class 1 recall because they may have be subjected to “temperature abuse during storage,” according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
Massachusetts-based Kayem Foods Inc. initiated the recall, announced on Oct. 17.
A Class 1 recall represents the highest risk level, described by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
Which products are being recalled?
The ready-to-eat meat and poultry products subject to recall are estimated to have been produced between March 31 and October 7, 2026. The products feature the establishment numbers “EST. M/P 7839,” “EST. P 20935A” and “EST. M 9520” inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to retail and foodservice locations across the United States and in Hong Kong.
