More than 12,000 pounds of bacon imported into the United States from Canada have been recalled by Maple Leaf Foods, according to a federal food safety notice. The recall was tied to an import violation, putting the company’s bacon products under review in the U.S. market.

The notice indicates that the recalled bacon was brought into the country from Canada and distributed in the United States. While the alert points consumers to affected products, shoppers should rely on the official recall listing and package details to determine whether the bacon they bought is included.

The reason given in the notice is an import violation. Regulators did not frame the issue in the snippet as a broader product description, but the recall still means consumers and retailers should take the affected bacon seriously and check whether any packages in homes or stores match the recall information.

Anyone who has purchased Maple Leaf Foods bacon should review the USDA food safety notice and compare product information carefully. If a package is part of the recall, it should not be eaten until the buyer confirms the next steps provided through the recall guidance.
