I got this today too. I often wonder how we would ever know about these recalls if we weren't signed up for online shopping? Scary.

The health issue is Hepatitis A.

Yeah i heard this on the news last night. One of the employees that work there just found out they have Hep A. Lucky coz we bought some the other day but hadn't used it yet!

Whoa!!hepatitis A..that is a serious issue!!i'm so glad i saw this thread..was going to go and get some ham, chicken etc for lunch since we're having people over!!might give it a miss now..am so turned off it by this!!

I avoided sliced meats during my preg due to these types of reasons, and now i am thinking of becoming vegetarian...LOL! Too much of this type of thing is happening lately. Very worrying.
