Recall Issued for Over 1,000 Pounds of Ground Beef in Five States Due to Metal Contamination
Over 1,000 pounds of frozen ground beef have been recalled across five states after reports of metal fragments being found in the product. No injuries have been reported yet.
In an ongoing effort to ensure food safety, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced a recall of more than 1,000 pounds of frozen ground beef. The recall follows reports of metal fragments being discovered within the product, which was produced by Ada Valley Meat Company. The affected beef was distributed to food service providers and distributors across five states: California, Delaware, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
The affected product comprises fully cooked, frozen ground beef packaged in 20-pound cardboard boxes. The recall specifically involves two lot codes: Lot code 35156, packed on May 28, 2025, and Lot code 35157, packed on May 30, 2025. The recall was triggered after a consumer complaint about finding small pieces of metal in the meat.
No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date. Nonetheless, FSIS urges food service operators and distributors to check their inventories carefully and discard any recalled beef that may still be in freezers. Consumers who purchased the beef are advised to return it to the place of purchase or dispose of it responsibly.
Gerrit Rozeboom, president of Ada Valley Gourmet Foods, stated that anyone with questions can contact him directly via email at gerrit@adavalley.com. The USDA has posted a full statement regarding the recall, emphasizing the importance of food safety and proper disposal of contaminated products.
This incident highlights the ongoing need for vigilance in food processing and distribution to prevent potential hazards from reaching consumers. To learn more about the recall, visit the USDA's official statement.
