Bacteria can spread throughout the kitchen and get on hands, cutting boards, knives and countertops. Frequent cleaning can keep that from happening.
Cross-contamination is how bacteria spreads. Keep raw meat, poultry and seafood and their juices away from ready-to-eat foods.
Even for experienced cooks, the improper heating and preparation of food means bacteria can survive.
Bacteria spreads fastest at temperatures between 40F and 140F, so chilling food properly is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.

BrucePac, one of Conagra Brands’ suppliers, produces ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry. On October 9, 2024, BrucePac, in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), initiated a product recall on select ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes.
On October 15, 2024, USDA announced an expansion of the BrucePac recall. BrucePac subsequently notified Conagra that some of the product from the expanded recall was supplied to Conagra Brands. Upon investigating, Conagra has identified 21,502 cases of select EVOL Single-serve Meals and Burritos have been shipped to customers that were made with BrucePac product from its expanded recall. As such, Conagra Brands is conducting a voluntary recall of these cases of EVOL Single-serve Meals and Burritos as the product does not meet Conagra’s high-quality standards due to the potential presence of Listeria monocytogenes.
The situation is limited to the impacted items and does not impact any other Conagra Brands products. There have been no reports of illness or injury due to the consumption of the products to date.
