Over 12,000 Pounds of Imported Smoked Bacon Recalled over Inspection Issues
The 12,036-pound recall covers two smoked bacon brands after routine inspection found a risk of serious illness or death, officials said.
- On Monday, July 27, 2026, Maple Leaf Foods Inc. recalled approximately 12,036 pounds of not ready-to-eat smoked bacon imported to the United States without required reinspection.
- The Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service stated the products were "imported from Canada without the benefit of import reinspection into the United States," triggering a Class I recall.
- Distributed to Grocery Outlet retailers in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, the 12-ounce vacuum packages include "Royale Natural Applewood Smoked ALL NATURAL Uncured Bacon Product of Canada" and "TOP VALU Uncured Hardwood Smoked Bacon PRODUCT OF CANADA."
- While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the USDA warns consumers to discard or return the bacon, which may still be in refrigerators or freezers.
- This recall occurs shortly after the President Donald Trump administration announced 50% tariffs on many Canadian imports, including auto and dairy goods, scheduled to take effect on Aug. 19.
