The latest recall target: 380,000 pounds of deli meat that may be tainted with harmful bacteria.

Zemco Industries, a Buffalo, N.Y. meat processor, produced the meat, which was sold in Walmart stores nationwide. While there are no reports of any sicknesses linked to the meat, the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Center warned the meat may be tainted with Listeria, which can produce flu-like symptoms.

The recall affects:

  • 25.5-pound cases of “Marketside Grab and Go Sandwiches BLACK FOREST HAM With Natural Juices Coated with Caramel Color” with the number 17800 1300.
  • 28.49-pound cases of “Marketside Grab and Go Sandwiches HOT HAM, HARD SALAMI, PEPPERONI, SANDWICH PEPPERS” with the number 17803 1300.
