Consumer Advisory
Customers should not consume the recalled products. Instead, they should return the products to Costco for a full refund. This action seeks to ensure customer safety and prevent potential health risks associated with the listeria exposure.
“Anyone who purchased the products should not eat them and return them to their local Costco for a refund, the company wrote in its letter.”
Customers with inquiries should contact Rana directly via their website or phone for clarity and assistance regarding the recall.
Larger Recall Context
BrucePac’s recall includes products produced between May and October 2024. These ready-to-eat meat and poultry products were distributed to various nationwide institutions, covering restaurants and schools.
