Two Million Pounds of Pork Have Been Recalled Across the U.S.
Not to be dramatic, but you probably shouldn’t serve a spiral-glazed ham for Christmas this year. Not smoked ham either, nor an applewood smoked ham, not even a fully cooked spiral sliced honey ham, and nope, not a boneless ham with water added. Those are just a few of the pork products that are being recalled all across the country, due to listeria contamination. The USDA has announced one of the most massive recalls in recent history—it includes more than two million pounds of pork, including two dozen types of ham and multiple pepperoni products.
The pork was distributed, and subsequently recalled, by Alexander & Hornung, a unit of Perdue Premium Meat Company based in Michigan. The products made their way onto the shelves of grocery stores including Big Y and Whole Foods.
