Summary

Kraft Heinz Foods Company is recalling approximately 2,400 pounds of Oscar Mayer Ham & Cheese LOAF due to potential cross-contamination with under-processed products. The problem occurred because slicing equipment was not cleaned between runs of under-processed and fully cooked meat. The recall affects 16-oz. rigid vacuum-packed packages produced on October 10, 2022, and shipped to distribution centers in Ohio and Virginia for retail sale.

Risk

The product may have been contaminated by equipment used for under-processed meat, which can harbor bacteria. While no illnesses have been reported, consuming under-processed meat products poses a risk of foodborne illness.

  3. Look for the establishment number "Est. 537V" inside the USDA mark of inspection on the packaging.
  4. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact Kraft Heinz Food Company at 1-866-572-3806 or lynsey.elve@kraftheinz.com for further instructions.
