Summary

Smithfield Packaged Meats Corp. is recalling approximately 185,610 pounds of ready-to-eat bacon topping products sold under the Golden Crisp, Smithfield, and Member’s Mark brands. The recall was initiated after a consumer reported finding metal in the product, posing a potential choking or injury hazard. These toppings were shipped to distributors and retail locations nationwide and were also used as ingredients in various other prepared items like salads, pizzas, and wraps. Consumers should return any affected products to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.
