Cargill Meat Solutions is recalling approximately 8,294 pounds of Meadowland Farms Ground Beef Patties because the meat may contain pieces of blue cotton/poly blend string. The recall involves 5.3-pound trays of 85% lean ground beef patties produced on April 6, 2015, which were shipped to warehouse locations in Connecticut and Maryland. While no injuries have been reported, consumers should check their freezers for these products and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The beef patties may contain foreign material in the form of blue string, which could pose a choking hazard or cause injury if consumed. The contamination was discovered after string was found in a machine during cleaning.
Return to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact the manufacturer for further instructions
