A U.S. unit of U.K. food maker Bakkavor Group PLC (BAKK.LN) is recalling about 800,000 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products due to possible salmonella and listeria contamination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.

Bakkavor Foods USA Inc. is recalling products made between Sept. 27, 2017, and Oct. 15, 2018, because an onion ingredient may be contaminated, the USDA said.

The agency said there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of the products, which were shipped to Kroger Co.'s (KR) Harris Teeter and ALDI's Trader Joe's retail locations nationwide.
