Kraft Heinz Food Co. of Newberry has announced the recall of nearly 368,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer turkey bacon products over possible contamination with listeria bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Bacon in the recall was produced from April 24 to June 11, according to the Associated Press.
Meanwhile, the S.C. Shrimpers Association has amended a federal lawsuit in Charleston to list more than two dozen restaurants and businesses it alleges falsely advertises as using locally-caught shrimp. The lawsuit was filed against 40 local seafood sellers.
But one business, Mount Pleasant Seafood, told The Post and Courier it is transparent about the sources of its shrimp. Another business, Page’s Okra Grill, took to social media to complain and dispute allegations, according to WCBD TV.
