Example of label on recalled ground beed
They bear the establishment number “EST. 10031” inside the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) mark of inspection.
Some of the recalled products, however, could bear a different establishment number on the label due to further distribution and processing by other establishments, according to the FSIS.
Ada Valley Meat Company became aware of the possible contamination after receiving a consumer complaint reporting that pieces of metal were found in the product.
Although there have been no confirmed reports of injury, the FSIS is concerned that some of the recalled products may still be in institutional freezers.
Institutions that have recalled ground beef are advised not to serve these products and should dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase.
The FSIS urges consumers to carefully review the product and label information on the ground beef and check back frequently on their website, as additional products could be added. PEOPLE has reached out to Ada Valley Meat Company for comment.
