Plain-English summary
Kraft Heinz Foods Company is recalling approximately 2,400 pounds of ready-to-eat ham and cheese loaf products. The affected items are 16-oz. rigid vacuum-packed packages of “Oscar Mayer Ham & Cheese LOAF” with codes ranging from “07 Feb 2023 20:40 7B” through “07 Feb 2023 22:16 7B” on the label. These products bear establishment number “Est. 537V” inside the USDA mark of inspection and were produced on Oct. 10, 2022.
The recall was initiated because the product was sliced on equipment that had previously processed under-processed products without being cleaned in between. This led to concerns of possible cross-contamination of the fully cooked ham and cheese loaf product. The items were shipped to distribution centers in Ohio and Virginia and further distributed for retail sales.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
