**[City, State] –** Kroger is recalling its chicken taco kits in 31 states due to potential listeria contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced. The recall, affecting 24,072 units, involves kits with UPC number 7203695028. The recall is a result of a broader action by Oregon-based manufacturer Reser’s Fine Foods, which recalled several meal kits containing chicken supplied by BrucePac. Sprouts stores are also impacted by a related recall of similar products.
The affected states include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
Consumers who purchased the Kroger chicken taco kits with the specified UPC number are urged to discard the product or return it to their local Kroger store for a full refund. Listeria contamination can cause serious illness, particularly in pregnant women, young children, and those with weakened immune systems. No illnesses have been reported to date, but the FDA and Kroger are taking proactive measures to prevent potential health risks.
