Current Recalls and Alerts. Retail Distribution Lists FSIS has reason to believe that the retail locations listed received the recalled meat or poultry products described in the news release. Lists may not include all retail locations that have received the recalled product or may include retail locations that did not actually receive the recalled product. Therefore, it is important that you use the product-specific identification information in the news release, in addition to this list of retail stores, to check meat or poultry products in your possession to see if they have been recalled.
