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

USDA Announces Recall of More Than 140,000 Pounds of Deli Meat
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced a recall on 143,416 pounds of Gaiser's European Style Provisions Inc. deli meat products due to mislabeling. The recalled ready-to-eat bologna products may contain other meat or poultry "source materials" that are not mentioned on the product labels. The bologna products were recalled because the label does not clearly indicate that the meat contains pork—or, in some cases, beef and chicken. The issue was discovered after a complaint was filed via the Office of Inspector General's hotline. The bologna was sold under multiple brand names at wholesale and retail locations between March 20 and June 20. If you have purchased bologna over the past three months, look for the following information on the package to determine if it has been impacted by this recall. Family Tree Bologna Veal Babushka's Recipe Chicken Bologna Fancy Bologna Gaisers Russian Brand Doktorskaya Bologna Gaisers Bologna Veal Gaisers Turkey Bologna Chicken Bologna Kypoyka Paba All recalled bologna will have the establishment number "5385" listed inside the USDA mark of inspection. You can also find label images on the USDA's site to better determine if you have the recalled meat. In addition to the vacuum-packed and plastic-wrapped products listed above, the recalled bologna may have been weighed, wrapped, and labeled individually at a store's deli counter. FSIS has not received any reports of illnesses or adverse effects associated with eating the bologna and has classified this recall as Class III, indicating that "use of the product will not cause adverse health consequences." However, if you have the recalled bologna—or you purchased bologna from a deli counter between March 20 and June 20 and it does not clearly state the brand name—you should not consume it. Instead, throw it away or return it to the place of purchase. If you have any questions, you can contact Gaiser's European Style Provisions Inc. at 908-686-3421 or gaisers@ Read the original article on ALLRECIPES
