Summary

The USDA has issued a public health alert for Great Value Black Forest Ham (1-lb) because the product may be undercooked and not fully processed. The alert affects sliced ham produced by Swift Prepared Foods (doing business as Plumrose USA) between April 28 and May 1, 2022. While no illnesses have been reported, consumers should check their refrigerators and freezers for this product as it may no longer be available in stores. If you have this ham, you should return it to the place of purchase for a refund or throw it away.

Risk
