Jerky products produced by Boyd Specialties of Colton, California are being recalled for possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

These jerky products were produced on February 23, 2022. There is a long list of recalled products at the USDA web site, with the brand name, product description, package sizes, UPC number, and pictures of product labels.

Some of the brand names of the recalled products include Ranchview Jerky Company, Texas Family, The Village, Humboldt Jerky Company, One Supply Gourmet, and Smokehouse Jerky Company, among others.

All of these products have the establishment number “EST. 40269” inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to retail stores in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

The problem was discovered by FSIS during follow-up procedures after a routine product sample was confirmed positive for Listeria monocytogenes.
