Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

PFP Enterprises, LLC (doing business as Texas Meat Packers) is recalling approximately 7,146 pounds of raw beef products because they were produced and packaged without federal inspection. The recall includes various fresh and frozen beef items, such as diced beef for tacos and seasoned steak for fajitas, produced on March 23 and 24, 2018. No illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported to date, but consumers are urged to check their freezers for these products, which were sold at retail and institutional locations in nine states.

Risk

The products were processed without the required federal inspection oversight, meaning the safety and quality of the meat cannot be guaranteed. Consuming uninspected meat products poses a potential food safety risk to consumers.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your beef packaging for establishment number 'EST. 34715' inside the USDA mark of inspection.
  2. Identify affected products by looking for case codes 1470 or 36989, or item codes 567248261 or 567248253, and packaging dates between March 23 and March 24, 2018. See the Affected Products section below for the full list of affected codes.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
  4. If you have questions about the recall, contact Shane Fresh, Vice President of Quality Assurance for Patterson Foods, at (817) 546-3561.
  5. Call the USDA Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 if you have additional food safety questions.
