143,000 Pounds of Lunch Meat Recalled—Sold in Michigan Stores

More than 143,000 pounds of ready-to-eat lunch meat has been recalled after a federal inspection revealed the products were misbranded. The products have been sold at grocery stores across Michigan and throughout the United States.

Why the Lunch Meat Was Recalled

The recall affects a variety of bologna products made by Gaiser’s European Style Provisions Inc. of Union, New Jersey. According to federal officials, the lunch meats contained undeclared ingredients—including beef, pork, and chicken—which were not listed on the labels.

Where the Products Were Sold

Some of the products were prepackaged, while others were sliced and sold at deli counters. All were distributed to retail and wholesale locations nationwide, including here in Michigan.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the affected products were produced between March 20 and June 20, 2025. While the meats were widely distributed, FSIS has not released a detailed list of stores or distributors where the products may have been sold.

What Products Are Included in the Recall

The following products have been recalled, according to FSIS. Each one bears establishment number “EST. 5385” inside the USDA inspection mark:

• Vacuum-packed packages of “FAMILY TREE BOLOGNA VEAL” containing undeclared pork
• Plastic-wrapped packages of “BABUSHKA’S RECIPE CHICKEN BOLOGNA” containing undeclared pork
• Plastic-wrapped packages of “FANCY BOLOGNA” labeled with pork as an ingredient but containing undeclared beef and chicken
• Vacuum-packed packages of “GAISER’S RUSSIAN BRAND DOKTORSKAYA BOLOGNA” containing undeclared beef
