Oscar Mayer ham and cheese loaf recalled after potential cross-contamination
Ham and cheese loaf was sliced using same equipment as under-processed product
Approximately 2,400 pounds of the Oscar Mayer Ham & Cheese Loaf are being recalled over possible cross-contamination with under-processed products, according to the Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The company's ready-to-eat products were produced on Oct. 10 and shipped to distribution centers in Ohio and Virginia, and further distributed for retail sales.
The problem was first uncovered when the establishment notified FSIS that the product was sliced using the same equipment as a product that had been under-processed.
The equipment was not cleaned between the products, leading to cross-contamination concerns.
