Plain-English summary

PFP Enterprises, LLC, doing business as Texas Meat Packers, is recalling approximately 7,146 pounds of raw beef products. The frozen and fresh beef items were produced on March 23 and 24, 2018, and packaged without the benefit of federal inspection. The recall includes specific vacuum-packed frozen and fresh beef products such as diced beef for tacos, seasoned beef for fajitas, and various cuts of USDA Choice Angus beef.

The issue was identified on March 30, 2018, when inspection personnel reviewed establishment records and determined that the facility operated on March 24, 2018, without inspection. The products were shipped to institutional and retail locations in Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS is concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers' freezers.
