Readfield Meats, Inc. (doing business as Ruffino Meats & Food Service) is recalling approximately 45,985 pounds of frozen raw beef trimmings. The recall was initiated because the product was labeled 'For Cooking Only' and intended for further processing at federally inspected facilities, but was instead distributed to retail markets and plants where sufficient processing to remove foodborne pathogens cannot be verified. These products were produced between May 26, 2015, and May 26, 2017.
The product may contain foodborne pathogens because it did not undergo the necessary heat treatment or processing required for items labeled 'For Cooking Only.' While no illnesses have been reported, consuming underprocessed beef poses a risk of foodborne illness.
You have 2 options:
Labeled 'BEEF TRIMMINGS FOR COOKING ONLY'. Distributed to retail markets, state inspected plants, and individuals.
