(TNND) \u2014 More than 12,000 pounds of imported bacon sold in three Western states have been recalled after federal officials discovered the products entered the United States without undergoing a required safety inspection.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service<\/a> (FSIS) announced Maple Leaf Foods Inc., based in Lisle, Illinois, is recalling about 12,036 pounds of not-ready-to-eat smoked bacon imported from Canada. The agency classified the action as a Class I recall, its highest risk level. Officials said there have been no confirmed reports of illness linked to the recalled products.<\/p>\n

FSIS said the issue was discovered during routine inspection activities.<\/p>\n

The recalled bacon was produced on June 9, 10, 12, 13 and 15, 2026, and distributed to grocery distributors and retailers in Idaho, Oregon and Washington, including Grocery Outlet stores.<\/p>\n

Maple Leaf Foods bacon recall July 28, 2026 (FSIS)<\/p>\n

The recall includes:12-ounce packages of Royale Natural Applewood Smoked All Natural Uncured Bacon (Product of Canada) with sell-by dates of Sept. 1 and Sept. 7, 202612-ounce packages of TOP VALU Uncured Hardwood Smoked Bacon (Product of Canada) with sell-by dates of Sept. 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7, 2026<\/p>\n

The affected products bear the Canadian establishment number “EST. 1” on the side of the package. Master case boxes also display health certificate 2026-S732971612.<\/p>\n

Anyone who purchased the recalled bacon should not eat it. Instead, FSIS advises consumers to throw the product away or return it to the place of purchase for a refund. Anyone concerned about illness after eating the bacon should contact a healthcare provider.<\/p>\n

The recall comes as federal health officials are dealing with multiple nationwide food safety concerns. A salmonella outbreak linked to recalled eggs<\/a> has grown to include more than 19 million recalled eggs, while a record-breaking cyclospora outbreak tied to shredded lettuce<\/a> and possibly other food sources has sickened thousands of people across several states.<\/p>\n

Why this recall is considered high risk<\/p>\n

Although no illnesses have been reported, the USDA assigned the recall its most serious Class I designation because the products bypassed the required federal import reinspection process before entering the U.S. market. That inspection helps verify imported meat products meet U.S. food safety requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(TNND) \u2014 More than 12,000 pounds of imported bacon sold in three Western states have been recalled after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355752,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-355751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355751"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355751\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
