Maple Leaf Foods, Inc., is issuing a recall on more than 12,000 pounds of smoked bacon, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The bacon was imported from Canada, but not reinspected by the United States before being sold to consumers. FSIS has issued a Class I recall, meaning that there is “reasonable probability” that eating the bacon “will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.”

How To Identify the Recalled Bacon

The Maple Leaf Foods not ready-to-eat smoked bacon was sold under two brand names, Royale and Top Valu, and distributed to Grocery Outlet retailers in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. To determine if you have the recalled bacon, you should look for the following information:

  • 12-oz vacuum package of “Royale Natural Applewood Smoked ALL NATURAL Uncured Bacon Product of Canada” with sell-by” dates of “SEP 01 2026” and “SEP 07 2026.”
  • 12-oz vacuum package of “TOP VALU Uncured Hardwood Smoked Bacon PRODUCT OF CANADA” with various sell-by dates of “SEP 01 2026,” “SEP 02 2026,” “SEP 04 2026,” “SEP 05 2026,” and “SEP 07 2026.”

All of the recalled bacon bears the Canadian establishment number “EST. 1” on the side of the package and the health certificate “2026-S732971612” on the master case boxes. FSIS has label images on its website to help you identify the recalled products.

What To Do if You Have the Recalled Bacon

No illnesses have been reported at this time. However, FSIS says that the recalled Royale and Top Valu bacons are not safe to consume. So, if you have either of the products in your fridge or freezer, you should throw them away or return them to the original place of purchase for a full refund.

For questions regarding this recall, you can contact Maple Leaf Foods at 416-518-5131 or adam.emery@mapleleaf.com.
