Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Amity Packing Company Inc. is recalling approximately 2,020 pounds of Pre brand raw ground beef because it may contain pieces of clear, thin, pliable plastic. The recall was initiated after the company received two consumer complaints about plastic found in the meat. No injuries or adverse reactions have been reported to date. These products were produced on January 6, 2020, and shipped to retail locations in nine states.

Risk

The presence of foreign matter like thin plastic in ground beef poses a choking hazard or potential for injury if consumed. The plastic is clear and pliable, making it difficult to detect during food preparation.
