Summary

Agri Star Meat and Poultry LLC is recalling approximately 3,592 pounds of ready-to-eat beef pastrami products because they may have been underprocessed and inadequately cured. The issue was discovered after a consumer complained about product discoloration, leading the company to find that some products did not contain enough curing solution. These items were produced on April 3 and April 4, 2018, and sold under the Aaron's BEST and SHOR HABOR brands.

The underprocessing and inadequate curing of these ready-to-eat meat products can lead to premature spoilage or the growth of harmful bacteria, though no illnesses have been confirmed to date.
