Beef products recalled due to possible foreign matter contamination

Approximately 4,218 pounds of ready-to-eat beef patty products are being recalled by OSI Industries, LLC as it may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically metal.

The recall announcement comes from the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) which has said the frozen, ready-to-eat beef patty items were produced on 10 August  2019. The problem was discovered during further processing activities at another federal establishment.

The beef patty products subject to recall are 38lb bulk lined boxes of frozen, ready-to-eat ‘Char-Broiled Beef Patties (caramel color added)’ with lot code 22219 and bear the establishment number ‘EST. 1300’ inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to firms that further process the product in Iowa and Wisconsin.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of the beef patty products, FSIS has said, but anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.

FSIS has also said it is concerned that some product may be in freezers of firms that further process the product. Further processing firms that have purchased the product are urged not to distribute them and these products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
