Conagra recalls 2.6 million pounds of canned meat and poultry

Conagra Brands recalls some 2.6 million pounds of canned meat and poultry that were potentially spoiled due to a packaging defect.

The recall affects products sold under Armour brand, including Armour Vienna Sausage and Armour Chicken Vienna Sausage. Vienna Sausages are also affected by several other brands, including Goya. The full list of items can be found here.

Between December 12 and Jan. 13 meat and poultry products were produced.

A recall notice on the Agriculture Department's website states that a Conagra establishment notified it after observing spoiled and/or leaking cans from multiple production dates at the establishment's warehouse. The investigation by the establishment determined that the cans subject to recall may have been damaged in a way that is not immediately apparent to consumers, which may allow foodborne pathogens to enter the cans.

The Agriculture Department said it was concerned that some products may be found in consumers' pantries or in retail shelves. The shoppers who have purchased these products should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.

There have been no reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products.
