Food workers have revealed the 75 ready-made meals that are being recalled because they may be contaminated with listeria.
Nearly 10 million pounds of TV dinners are being recalled, including those containing chicken, beef and beef fajitas.
The products were sold nationwide in restaurants and institutions and consumers are urged to check their refrigerators and freezers for ready-to-eat meals with expiration dates of June 19, 2025 and October 8, 2025.
To date, no illnesses or deaths have been reported linked to the meals, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) confirmed to DailyMail.com.

Oklahoma-based BrucePac, whose company slogan is “a passion for protein,” sold the meat and issued a recall yesterday.
The FSIS became concerned after routine testing of a ready-to-eat product containing chicken showed it to be contaminated with listeria.
It’s at least the second major recall to hit the U.S. this year, after Boar’s Head recalled 7 million pounds of meat in late July due to listeria contamination.
Two people died and at least thirteen people became seriously ill in that outbreak.
It is not clear how the ready-made meals became contaminated with listeria, but the bacteria may have entered the factory on a product such as an improperly treated chicken breast.
During processing, the bacteria can then get onto machines, spreading to other products, leading to a major recall.
Consumers have been told to also check recalled products for the location numbers “51205” or “P-51205,” which should be inside the packaging or just below the USDA inspection mark.

Listeria infections are serious for pregnant women, women over 65, or people with weakened immune systems.
People can contract the bacteria by eating contaminated food and tend to experience symptoms such as fever, chills, headache, vomiting and diarrhea within one to four weeks of infection.
In severe cases, the bacteria can spread to the bloodstream and brain, increasing the risk of sepsis and encephalitis, or inflammation and swelling in the brain.
In pregnant women, this can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth or premature birth of a newborn.
In healthy adults without underlying conditions, listeria can cause a brief illness that lasts several days.
According to the CDC, approximately 1,600 people in the U.S. are infected with listeria each year, and 260 people die from the infection each year.
In its recall, FSIS said: “FSIS is concerned that a certain product may be available for use in restaurants, institutions, and other establishments.
‘These… could be on store shelves or in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers.
‘Restaurants, institutions and other establishments are urged not to serve or use these products. These products should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase.”
