Bologna Recalled Nationwide Due to ‘Mystery Meat’ Issue

Nearly 150,000 pounds of bologna are under scrutiny because the deli meat may contain ingredients not listed on the label.

Nearly 150,000 pounds of bologna sold nationwide are being recalled because of unlisted meat content, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.

This is a Class III recall, which means the affected products “will not cause adverse health consequences or the risk is negligible.”

The New Jersey–based company Gaiser’s European Style Provisions said its bologna contains meat or poultry ingredients that aren’t listed on the packaging, per FSIS.

The following types of bologna are subject to recall:

Vacuum-packed packages of “Family Tree Bologna Veal” containing undeclared pork
Plastic-wrapped packages of “Babushka’s Recipe Chicken Bologna” containing undeclared pork
Plastic-wrapped packages of “Fancy Bologna” labeled with pork as an ingredient but containing undeclared beef and chicken
Vacuum-packed packages of “Gaisers Russian Brand Doktorskaya Bologna” containing undeclared beef
Plastic-wrapped packages of “Gaisers Bologna Veal” containing undeclared chicken and pork
Plastic-wrapped packages of “Gaisers Turkey Bologna” containing undeclared chicken and pork
Plastic-wrapped packages of “Chicken Bologna Kypoyka Paba” containing undeclared pork

The recalled bologna varieties all have the establishment number EST. 5385 on the label. Some types may have come sliced to order from deli counters. You can see all the labels on the FSIS website.
