More than 367,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer turkey bacon have been recalled over concerns that the products may be contaminated with listeria bacteria, which can potentially cause severe infections.

The recall — voluntarily issued by Kraft Heinz,— covers fully cooked and vacuum-packed Oscar Mayer turkey bacon produced between April 24 and June 11.

The affected products were shipped to stores across the U.S., as well as to the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced on Wednesday.

Kraft Heinz, which is North America's third-largest food and beverage company, said it is actively collaborating with public health authorities to issue the recall.

As of Wednesday, the company has not received any consumer complaints or reports of illness, a Kraft Heinz spokesperson told Fox News Digital in an email.

"At Kraft Heinz, nothing matters more to us than the safety of our products and the well-being of the families who trust them," the spokesperson said. "… In line with our safety protocols, we are actively working with all retail partners and distributors to remove the potentially impacted product from circulation."

The recalled products include:

The recalled products should not be consumed, and they should be thrown away or returned to the store where they were purchased from, the USDA said.

The issue was discovered after lab testing showed that some Oscar Mayer turkey bacon products could have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Eating food contaminated by Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that mainly affects those with weak immune systems, older adults and pregnant women and their newborns, according to the USDA.

In May, Fresh & Ready Foods similarly recalled several ready-to-eat foods after a listeria outbreak linked to the products left at least 10 people hospitalized in California and Nevada, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
