CONAGRA has recalled more than 2.5million pounds of canned meat after contamination was discovered, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Safety (USDA).
The meat’s brand decided to recall its canned Vienna sausage and chicken products because some of the cans were contaminated during the packaging process.
The recall also affects Vienna sausages sold under brands like Goya.
Shoppers regularly find the Conagra canned sausage and chicken in stores like Walmart and Kroger.
An individual can sells for between $2 and $3, while a package of 18 cans is around $40.
"Retailers have been informed of the recall and are removing the impacted items from shelves," a spokesperson from Conagra told The U.S. Sun.

TAKE ACTION
If you purchased the product under the brand names Armour, Kroger, Goya, Prairie Belt, Hargis House, Grace, or Great Value, it's possible your meat was affected.
“Subsequent investigation by the establishment determined that the cans subject to recall may have been damaged in a manner that is not readily apparent to consumers, which may allow foodborne pathogens to enter the cans,” the USDA said in a statement.
Shoppers are encouraged to throw out their canned meat if it was processed between December 12 and January 13.
You can tell if this happened based on the establishment number of P4247 located on the can.
