Plain-English summary

Good Food Concepts, a Colorado Springs, Colorado establishment, is recalling approximately 12,566 pounds of beef, pork, and poultry products. The recall was initiated because the products were produced without a fully implemented Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) plan.

The recall includes various sizes of Ranch Foods Direct smoked bacon, ham, bologna, pepperoni, sausages, and other deli meats. These items were shipped to retail locations in Colorado and New Mexico.

The issue was discovered by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) during a food safety assessment at the establishment.

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.
