Kayem Foods recalls 1.58 million pounds of meat

Kayem Foods recalled about 1.58 million pounds of meat. The food may have sat at unsafe temperatures.

What happened

What was recalled

The recall covers ready-to-eat meat and poultry. That means food you eat with no more cooking.

What happened

Hot dogs, bacon, deli meat

The list covers hot dogs, bacon, deli meat, sausages, turkey breast, and hams. It has more than 100 products.

What happened

Made from March 31 to October 7

The food was made from March 31 to October 7, 2026. Some packs have a long shelf life.

What happened

A warm delivery raised the alarm

On October 1, a store said a delivery felt warm. Kayem found a warehouse cooler with temperature changes.

Why it matters

The highest recall level

The agency gave the recall its highest level, Class I. Eating the food could cause serious harm.

What to do

Check the label codes

Look for the codes M/P 7839, P 20935A, or M 9520 inside the USDA inspection mark.

What to do

Check the fridge and freezer

Some of these foods last a long time. The agency fears some packs are still in homes.

What to do

Do not eat it

Do not taste the food to test it. Throw it away or return it to the store.

What to do

A full refund on returns

According to Allrecipes, you can get a full refund. Keep your receipt if you have one.

Why it matters

No illnesses confirmed so far

No illnesses have been confirmed so far. But that does not make the food safe.
