A wholesale meats company is recalling more than 2,000 pounds of ground beef burgers after consumers complained of “rubber-like” materials in the patties, according to officials.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service posted the recall from Weinstein Wholesale Meats, noting that 2,122 pounds of raw ground beef burger products may be contaminated with foreign materials, “specifically pieces of white neoprene.”
The beef affected by the recall was sold nationwide and produced on March 14, 2023, the USDA shared. The recalled products were sold in 10.7-ounce packages labeled “100% Grass Fed & Finished Beef Burger Patties, 85% Lean/ 15% Fat.”
The items also have the established number “Est. 6987” inside the USDA mark of inspection, according to the recall posting.
Several customers filed complaints about the meat, saying that while preparing it, they found a white “rubber-like” substance inside.
There haven’t been any reported cases of adverse reactions caused by consuming the beef. Any consumer concerned about injury or illness is being advised to contact their healthcare provider.
Anyone with the recalled beef should throw it away immediately or return the item.
