USDA considering labels for lunch meat that warn of deadly bacteria.

But they are sufficiently worried to warn consumers there has been a ``breakdown'' in the nation's food safety system that has allowed a rare but deadly form of listeria to contaminate ready-to-eat foods, causing 12 deaths, three miscarriages and illness to 75 others.
