Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Larry's Custom Meats Inc. is recalling approximately 529 pounds of 1 ½ lb. packages of Beef Tongue sold in New York and Pennsylvania. The beef tongue items were produced between October 23, 2014, and June 12, 2015, and are being recalled because they may still contain lingual tonsils. These tissues are classified as specified risk materials (SRMs) that must be removed to prevent potential human exposure to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE).

Risk

The products may contain lingual tonsils, which are tissues that can carry the infective agent for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as Mad Cow Disease. While no adverse reactions have been reported, federal regulations prohibit these materials in the human food supply to minimize disease exposure risk.
