Plain-English summary
Rancho Feeding Corporation, a Petaluma, California establishment, is recalling approximately 8,742,700 pounds of beef products. The recall includes various beef cuts, organs, and carcasses, such as beef oxtail, cheeks, liver, and tripe. These products were produced between January 1, 2013, and January 7, 2014, and shipped to distribution centers and retail establishments nationwide.
The recall was initiated because the company processed diseased and unsound animals without the benefit or full benefit of federal inspection. Consequently, the products are considered adulterated, unsound, unwholesome, or unfit for human food. The recalled items bear the establishment number "EST. 527" inside the USDA mark of inspection, and case code numbers ending in "3" or "4".
FSIS has received no reports of illness due to the consumption of these products. Consumers who are concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider. The recall is classified as Class I, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the violative product may cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
