Plain-English summary

Conagra Brands, Inc. is recalling approximately 2,581,816 pounds of canned meat and poultry products. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on January 31, 2023. The affected products were produced between December 12, 2022, and January 13, 2023, and bear establishment number “P4247” on the cans.

Investigation determined that the cans may have been damaged in a manner not readily apparent to consumers, which may allow foodborne pathogens to enter. The products were shipped to retail locations nationwide.

The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
