A massive recall has been issued for nearly 100,000 pounds of ground beef sold in Texas that may be contaminated with reflective mirror-like material.
Amarillo-based Tyson Fresh Meats is recalling approximately 93,697 pounds of raw ground beef products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The following products are subject to recall:
• 10-lb. chubs containing “HILL COUNTRY FARE GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN/ 27% FAT with BEST BEFORE OR FREEZE BY: NOV 25, 2022.”
• 5-lb. chubs containing “HILL COUNTRY FARE GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN/ 27% FAT with BEST BEFORE OR FREEZE BY: NOV 25, 2022.”
• 5-lb. chubs containing “H-E-B GROUND CHUCK GROUND BEEF 80% LEAN/ 20% FAT.”
The recalled items were produced on November 2, 2022, and bear establishment number “EST. 245E” on the seam of the chub. See product labels.
The items were shipped to retail locations in Texas. A list of stores was not provided.
The problem was discovered when the company received consumer complaints reporting findings of "mirror-like" material in ground beef purchased from grocery stores.
Tyson says there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions or injury due to consumption of these products.
Officials are concerned that some product may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. If you've purchased these products, do not to consume them. Recalled items should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
