Comment

More than 93,000 pounds of ground beef has been recalled by Tyson Fresh Meats, after customers reported finding pieces of “mirror-like” material in the meat.

The recalled products were sold at grocery stores in Texas. They were sold in chubs, a type of cylindrical packaging shaped like a very thick sausage, and bear the number EST. 245E on the seam, the Agriculture Department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said in the recall notice, published Wednesday.

The products have a freeze-by date of Nov. 25, and the FSIS advised customers who have the products in their refrigerator or freezer to throw away or return them. The material found in the beef was reflective and hard, the FSIS and Tyson said.
