由于可能受到李斯特菌污染，肉类生产商BrucePac召回了近1200万磅即食肉类和家禽产品，此前该公司位于俄克拉荷马州杜兰特，召回超过900万英镑上周的产品。
这美国农业部食品安全和检验局10月15日发布了一份公告，分享了10月9日BrucePac召回范围扩大的新细节，包括更多产品和生产日期，并补充说一些产品已发送到美国学校。
“此次发布的细节进行了更新，注意到增加了1，779，040磅需要召回的产品，重量从9，986，245磅增加到11，765，285磅，”公告称。“这份召回通知也进行了更新，以反映召回的产品也分发给学校。学校分发列表此时不可用。
更新的召回影响数百种产品例如在包括好市多、乔氏、塔吉特、沃尔玛和克罗格在内的商店出售的预制沙拉、墨西哥卷饼和其他食品。
根据FSIS 10月9日的公告，BrucePac最初召回了大约9986245磅即食肉类和家禽产品，这些产品是在2024年6月19日至2024年10月8日期间生产的。
该机构当时表示，它是在对成品家禽产品进行常规FSIS产品检测后发现这一问题的，检测结果显示单核细胞增生李斯特菌呈阳性。
进一步调查确定BrucePac即食鸡肉是污染源。FSIS还补充说，到目前为止，还没有确诊的疾病报告。
从10月9日的公告中召回的受影响产品在美国农业部检验标志内或标志下带有机构编号“51205或P-51205”。可以找到召回产品的完整列表这里.

"我们呼吁消费者仔细阅读这些信息，包括产品和标签信息，包括在BrucePac即食肉类和家禽召回范围内新闻稿，”该机构当时表示。
ABC新闻联系BrucePac就召回事件发表评论，但没有得到回复。
食用被单核细胞增生李斯特菌污染的食物会导致一种罕见但严重的感染，称为李斯特菌病。据报道，这种感染可以发展为侵袭性李氏杆菌病，当细菌扩散到肠道以外的身体其他部位时就会发生美国疾病控制与预防中心.
重病的症状疾病预防控制中心说，通常在食用受污染的食物后一至四周开始，但可能早在同一天出现，或晚在70天后出现。

估计每年有1600人患李斯特菌病根据疾病预防控制中心的数据，美国大约有260人死于这种疾病。感染风险最大的人群包括孕妇和新生儿、65岁以上的成年人以及免疫系统虚弱的人。
那些没有怀孕的人可能会出现发烧、头痛、肌肉疼痛、疲劳、脖子僵硬、思维混乱或失去平衡等症状。那些怀孕的人可能会出现发烧和类似流感的症状。
疾病预防控制中心建议那些李斯特菌病高危人群避免食用熟食柜台上的肉片，除非加热到165华氏度的内部温度，或者直到上菜前热气腾腾。该机构还建议，如果你有李氏杆菌病的症状，并且最近吃了熟食柜台的肉片，就打电话给你的医疗保健提供者。
Listeria recall expands to nearly 12 million pounds of meat, hits US schools
A recall from meat producer BrucePac has grown to nearly 12 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry items due to possible listeria contamination, after the company, which is based in Durant, Oklahoma,recalled over 9 million poundsof products last week.
TheU.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Serviceissued an announcement on Oct. 15 sharing new details about an expansion of the earlier Oct. 9 BrucePac recall to include additional products and production dates, adding that some of the items were sent to U.S. schools.
"Details of this release were updated to note the addition of 1,779,040 pounds of product subject to recall, increasing the weight from 9,986,245 to 11,765,285 pounds," the announcement read. "This recall release has also been updated to reflect that recalled products were also distributed to schools. A school distribution list is not available at this time."
The updated recall impactshundreds of productssuch as prepared salads, burritos and other foods sold at stores including Costco, Trader Joe's, Target, Walmart and Kroger.
BrucePac initially recalled approximately 9,986,245 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products that were produced from June 19, 2024, to Oct. 8, 2024, according to an Oct. 9 announcement from the FSIS.
The agency said at the time it discovered the issue after conducting routine FSIS product testing of finished poultry products, which came back positive for Listeria monocytogenes.
Further investigation determined BrucePac ready-to-eat chicken as the source of the contamination. FSIS also added that there have been no confirmed reports of illnesses so far.
Impacted products that are subject to recall from the Oct. 9 announcement bear establishment numbers "51205 or P-51205" inside or under the USDA mark of inspection. A full list of recalled items can be foundhere.
FSIS officials cautioned in an Oct. 11 update that "some of the recalled products could bear a different establishment number on the label due to further distribution and processing by other establishments."
"Consumers are urged to carefully review the information, including theproduct and label information, included in the BrucePac Ready-to-Eat Meat and Poultry RecallPress Release," the agency stated at the time.
ABC News reached out to BrucePac for comment on the recall but did not hear back.
Consuming food contaminated with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes can cause a rare but serious infection known as listeriosis. The infection can progress to invasive listeriosis, which occurs when the bacteria spread beyond the gut to other parts of the body, according to theCDC.
Symptoms of severe illnessusually begin one to four weeks after eating contaminated food but can present as early as the same day, or as late as 70 days later, the CDC says.

An estimated1,600 people get listeriosis annuallyin the U.S. and about 260 people die from it, according to the CDC. Those most at risk of infection include pregnant people and newborns, adults aged 65 or older, and people with weakened immune systems.
Those who are not pregnant are likely to experience symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, stiff neck, confusion or loss of balance. Those who are pregnant are likely to experience a fever and flu-like symptoms.
The CDC recommends those at higher risk of listeriosis to avoid eating meat sliced at deli counters unless heated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit or until steaming hot just before serving. The agency also recommends calling your health care provider if you have symptoms of listeriosis and recently ate meat sliced at a deli counter.
