Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

J & G Foods, Inc. is recalling approximately 33,948 pounds of Wegmans Organic 93% Lean/7% Fat Grass-Fed Ground Beef sold in 1-lb. vacuum-sealed packages and 3-packs. These products were produced on December 23, 2014, and shipped to Wegmans retail locations in Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The recall was initiated after consumers reported finding small, malleable plastic pieces inside the meat.

Risk

The beef may be contaminated with small pieces of plastic materials which pose a choking hazard or risk of injury if consumed. While no adverse reactions have been reported, the presence of foreign matter makes the product unsafe for consumption.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator or freezer for 1-lb. vacuum-sealed packages or 3-packs of Wegmans Organic 93% Lean/7% Fat Grass-Fed Ground Beef.
  2. Verify the product by looking for establishment number 'EST. 8466' inside the USDA mark of inspection and a 'USE OR FREEZE BY 01/16/15' date.
  3. If you have the affected product, do not consume it; instead, dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase.
  4. If you are concerned about an injury or illness related to this product, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
  5. For questions regarding the recall, contact Quality Assurance Manager Edward R Briggs at (508) 865-1101.
  6. For general food safety questions, contact the USDA Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
