A Louisiana-based meat packing company is expanding a recall because of possible bacterial contamination.

FOX News Radio’s Don Mathisen has details:

The Manda Packing Company recalling 468,000 pounds of roast beef, ham, turkey, pork, headcheese, corned beef and pastrami. ?The meat is possibly contaminated with listeria, a bacteria that’s one of the most virulent food-borne agents that causes disease. ?There are 500 deaths a year in the U.S. attributed to listeria.

The products were shipped to 13 states. ?A Manda spokesman says the company is working with the USDA to enhance their food safety systems.
