Tyson raw ground beef products - recalled due to extraneous materials

Texas, United States

The FSIS announced the recall of approximately 93,697 pounds of raw ground beef products by Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc., an Amarillo, Texas establishment because they may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically reflective mirror-like material. These products were shipped to retail locations in Texas. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

The recalled products are:
- 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."

These products bear the establishment number "EST. 245E" on the seam of the chub. The problem was discovered when the firm notified FSIS that they received consumer complaints reporting findings of "mirror-like" material in ground beef products purchased from grocery stores.

FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
