A COMPANY supplying Wal-Mart with meat is recalling about 90,000 pounds of product due to potential contamination from extraneous wood material, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced Monday, Jan. 4.
Huisken Meat Company is recalling Sam’s Choice Black Angus beef patties with 19 percent Vidalia Onion that were produced between Nov. 19, 2015 to Dec. 9, 2015. The products post use-by dates in May and June 2016.
The recall covers two-pound boxes containing six patties and the establishment number “EST. 394A” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
There have been no reports of individuals who have become ill from consuming the contaminated meat. The USDA has classified the recall as a Class II low health risk with a “remote probability of adverse health consequences from the use of the product.” However, the agency is urging those in possession of the product to dispose of it or return it to where it was purchased.
The meat was shipped to Wal-Mart locations across the United States and are sold at select locations, according to the retail giant’s website.
