The recall totals 12,036 pounds according to AOL.com, highlighting the scale of the issue. The alert stems from a failure to complete the USDA’s required inspection before the bacon entered the U.S. market. Skipping inspection raises concerns about potential contamination, which is why the USDA classified the recall as highest risk. Authorities stress that the missed step could allow pathogens to go undetected.

Consumers in three states are advised to check their refrigerators, with Idaho singled out by East Idaho News as a location where the bacon was sold. Maple Leaf Foods, identified by AOL.com, is the producer of the Canadian bacon involved. USA Today published a list of affected products, and Allrecipes echoed the USDA’s directive. The recall therefore impacts shoppers who purchased the bacon from grocery shelves in those regions, as well as retailers who must remove the stock.

The USDA will continue monitoring distribution channels and may issue further notices if additional batches are identified. Consumers are urged to stay alert for updates from federal agencies.
