- MEMBER’S MARK FULLY COOKED BACON CRUMBLES. 5-lb. packages. SKU 78742240923 with “BEST IF USED BY” date of “2022-11-18.”
The problem was discovered after the firm received a customer complaint reporting they found metal in the RTE bacon topping product.
Some of the bacon product may have been used to produce other products, which is why FSIS expects there to be additional products containing the bacon and urges consumers to check back frequently to view updated lists and labels.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
In case you experience harm from products, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance.
