Plain-English summary
MF Meats, a Falconer, N.Y. establishment, is recalling approximately 93,277 pounds of raw meat products that may have been contaminated with non-food grade mineral seal oil. This substance is not approved for use in meat processing. The recalled items include various weights of meat cuts and ground meat produced between November 26, 2023, and February 16, 2024. These products bear establishment number “EST. 569” inside the USDA mark of inspection and display Julian dates of 330-365 (November 26 - December 31) and 1-47 (January 1 - February 16).
The recall was initiated after the firm received four complaints from restaurants reporting a chemical taste in the meat. An investigation revealed that the firm’s mineral oil supplier sent a drum of non-food grade mineral seal oil labeled as food grade. This oil was applied to food contact surfaces, not directly to the meat products. The items were shipped to restaurants in New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. FSIS is concerned that some product may still be in restaurants’ refrigerators or freezers. Restaurants are urged not to serve these products and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions can contact MF Meats or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline.
