WASHINGTON, September 14, 2007 - Stone Meats, Inc., a Pleasant View, Utah, establishment, is voluntarily recalling
approximately 11,250 pounds of fresh ground beef products that may contain pieces of metal, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.
The following products are subject to recall: [View Labels, PDF Only]
- 5-pound packages (chubs) of "GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN - 27% FAT." Each label bears a "sell-by" date of "09/19/07" and followed by "EST#6214 7," "EST#6214 8," "EST#6214 9," or "EST#6214 10."
The products were produced on September 5, and were distributed to retail grocery stores in Utah and Mesquite, Nev. These products should no longer
be available in grocery stores. However, these products could be in consumers' refrigerators and freezers and it is important that consumers
look for and return these products if they find them.
The problem was discovered after the company received consumer complaints. One injury has been reported from handling of these products.
Anyone concerned about an injury from consumption of the products should contact a physician.
Consumers and media with questions about the recall may contact company Vice President Burke Stone at (801) 782-9825.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov. The toll-free USDA
Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m.
