On Saturday, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service alerted the public about a voluntary recall by Kayem Foods Inc., a more-than-a-century-old meat products company based in Chelsea, Massachusetts.

The recall involves more than 1.5 million pounds of meat products produced by Kayem Foods. According to the FSIS, Kayem is recalling 1,584,361 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products over fears that impacted products “may have experienced temperature abuse during storage.”

The problem was discovered after one of Kayem Foods’ retail customers complained about warm product temperatures related to some of the meat products, the notice states.

      We’re hitting a food shortage era. Anyone fucking around with the food supply or its safety should be arrested.

    I wish this had more detail. From the brands and going over all three main meat types makes me think it might be lunch meats.
