The meat may be contaminated with Listeria monocyotogenes bacteria, which can cause a rare but potentially fatal disease known as listeriosis, the USDA said. Infants, the elderly, people with HIV and patients undergoing chemotherapy are among those at risk for the disease.
Listeriosis also can cause miscarriages and stillbirths.
The USDA said it had received no reports of illnesses linked to the products that were being recalled.
More information about the recall can be found at the USDA website.
