USDA Warns Consumers After Massive Deli Meat Recall
More than 140,000 pounds of deli meat have been pulled from shelves after a major labeling mix-up triggered a federal recall. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced that Gaiser's European Style Provisions Inc. is recalling 143,416 pounds of ready-to-eat bologna products that may contain undeclared pork, beef, or chicken. The issue was first flagged after a complaint was filed with the Office of Inspector General's hotline. When FSIS investigated the complaint, it determined that the products contained undeclared source materials. While no illnesses have been reported, the USDA has issued a Class III recall, meaning the mislabeled meat is not expected to cause serious health consequences, but it still violates labeling standards and poses a risk for people with dietary restrictions or food allergies. The bologna was sold between March 20 and June 20 under a wide variety of names. Here's what to look for: Family Tree Bologna Veal Babushka's Recipe Chicken Bologna Fancy Bologna Gaiser's Russian Brand Doktorskaya Bologna Gaiser's Bologna Veal Gaiser's Turkey Bologna Chicken Bologna Kypoyka Paba All affected products will have the establishment number '5385' printed inside the USDA inspection mark. In some cases, the meat may have been sliced and rewrapped at a deli counter, which could make it harder to identify. The USDA recommends throwing away any suspect product or returning it to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions can contact Gaiser's at 908-686-3421 or gaisers@ While the agency doesn't expect any adverse health effects, the recall highlights the importance of transparent labeling and the need for customers to check what's really in their food, especially when it comes to processed meats. Don't forget to check both your fridge and your freezer. USDA Warns Consumers After Massive Deli Meat Recall first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 30, 2025

Nationwide bologna lunch meat recall: What to know about the products
A New Jersey-based wholesale grocer is recalling more than 143,000 pounds of ready-to-eat bologna due to misbranding, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Friday. Gaiser's European Style Provisions Inc., based in Union, New Jersey, has recalled approximately 143,416 pounds of bologna products because they "contain meat or poultry source materials that are not declared on the product labels," the FSIS stated. Seven types of ready-to-eat bologna items produced between March 20, 2025, and June 20, 2025, are subject to this recall, according to the FSIS announcement. They include: Vacuum-packed packages of "FAMILY TREE BOLOGNA VEAL" containing undeclared pork. Plastic-wrapped packages of "BABUSHKA'S RECIPE CHICKEN BOLOGNA" containing undeclared pork.

The recalled products were distributed to both wholesale and retail locations nationwide, according to the company, and bear the establishment number "EST. 5385" inside the USDA mark of inspection on the label. "Some products would have been weighed, wrapped, and labeled in retail store locations at the time of purchase," the recall announcement noted. According to the FSIS, the issue was discovered when the agency "was notified by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of a complaint received through the OIG's hotline." "FSIS investigated the complaint and determined that the products contained source materials that were not declared on the label," the agency said Friday. "Although FSIS does not expect any adverse health effects for Class III recalled products and there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider." The FSIS has advised consumers who purchased the recalled products not to consume them. Restaurants and businesses in possession of the recalled products have also been urged not to serve them. "These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase," the FSIS stated. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Gaiser's by phone at (908) 686-3421 or by email at gaisers@ A representative for Gaiser's did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
