The week of June 30 was a busy one for recalls, as four foods were pulled from shelves over safety issues.
Listeria contamination affected Oscar Mayer turkey bacon and blueberries, while labeling issues led to recalls of lunch meat and Wegmans chocolate.
Here's what to throw out or return this week.
Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon
On Wednesday, Kraft Heinz recalled 367,812 pounds of Oscar Mayer turkey bacon from retailers across the country, and in the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong.
The recalled turkey bacon may be contaminated with Listeria. Due to the risk of foodborne illness, health officials gave the recall the highest risk level, Class 1.
If you find the recalled turkey bacon in your fridge or freezer, toss or return it immediately, and monitor for signs of Listeria.
