The problem was discovered after the establishment received three complaints of metal objects in the beef frank packages. The establishment notified the FSIS on Friday.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions or injury due to eating any of the products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
Consumers who have purchased the products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
The FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
