Ready to Eat Turkey Breast Products Recalled

Some ready-to-eat turkey breast products recalled for potential Listeria contamination

Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin alerts consumers to the recall of some ready-to-eat smoked turkey breast products due to possible health risks.

New Braunfels Smokehouse, New Braunfels, Texas, is recalling about 2,609 pounds of fully cooked, ready-to-eat smoked turkey breast products.

They may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease.


The products being recalled include:

1-pound packages of “New Braunfels Smokehouse Sliced Smoked Turkey” with package code “2210” on the label;


4 to 6 lb. packages of “New Braunfels Honey-Glazed Spiral Sliced Smokehouse Hickory Smoked Boneless Breast of Turkey” with package code “2180” on the label;
4 to 6 lb. whole breast packages of “Stegall Boneless Hickory Smoked Turkey Breast” with package code “2210” on the label;


4 to 6 lb. whole breast packages of “Stegall Spiral Sliced Hickory Smoked Turkey Breast” with package codes “2180” or “2210” on the label.

Each package bears the number “P-975” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The fully cooked, ready-to-eat smoked turkey breast products were produced on August 4, 2010, and distributed nationwide. Catalog orders and Internet sales are also included in this recall.

Healthy people rarely contract listeriosis which can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea.

Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and those with HIV infection or individuals undergoing chemotherapy. Those with concerns about this illness should contact a health care provider.

Consumers with questions should call New Braunfels Smokehouse at (800) 537-6932.
