Listeria recall of chicken hits Target, Amazon, Kroger, Albertsons and others

The listeria outbreak has led to a recall of nearly 10 million pounds of meat and chicken products affecting major grocery chains and brand names.

BrucePac, the supplier at the center of the recall, found listeria in finished ready-to-eat chicken products, triggering a sweeping recall of multiple brands.

The ripple effect of the recall illustrates how interconnected the food supply chain is; a single supplier's contamination can lead to vast implications across numerous retailers.

Fresh Express and various store brands quickly expanded their recalls as a result of BrucePac's issues, highlighting how quickly product safety can be compromised.
