Plain-English summary
Weinstein Wholesale Meats, Inc., a Forest Park, Illinois establishment, is recalling approximately 2,122 pounds of raw ground beef burger products. The recall was initiated because the products may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically pieces of white neoprene.
The affected products are 10.7-oz. vacuum-sealed packages containing two pieces of "100% Grass Fed & Finished Beef Burger Patties 85% Lean/15% Fat" with a "Use/Freeze By 4/11/23" date. These items bear establishment number "Est. 6987" inside the USDA mark of inspection and were produced on March 14, 2023. The products were shipped to an online distributor and sold to customers nationwide.
The issue was identified after the establishment received multiple consumer complaints regarding the discovery of white "rubber-like" material in the patties during preparation. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
