More quality Republican oversight
From the NY Times.
An Oklohama company has recalled 4.3 million pounds of frozen meat products because they may contain pieces of metal, the Agriculture Department said late Friday.
The meat, produced by Advance Food Co. of Enid, Okla., was sold to institutional buyers nationwide and to one Midwest retail customer with stores in Iowa, Kansas and Missouri, the department said. It did not identify the retailer.
The meat, mostly varieties of cubed beef sold in 10 and 12 pound cases, have various dates between Nov. 28, 2005, to April 30, 2006. Each package displays a number ''EST 2260Y'' or ''EST 2260G'' inside the USDA seal of inspection.
The recall was announced by the department's Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The announcement gave no indication how the metal got into the meat.
The contamination was discovered after the company received consumer complaints, the USDA said. It said there have been no reports of injuries from eating the meat.
