Plain-English summary
Lone Star Bakery, Inc. is recalling approximately 5,740 pounds of frozen beef shepherd's pie products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically copper wire pieces. The affected product is the 8-oz. carton package of “BOOMERANG’S BEEF SHEPHERD’S PIE” with a “USE BY 092323” date. These items bear establishment number “Est. 31772” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The recall was initiated after the company received consumer complaints reporting entwined copper wire embedded in the products. The products were produced on April 1, 2022, and shipped to distributor and retail locations in California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas. While there have been no confirmed reports of injury associated with consumption of this product, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) believes the copper wire pieces could be sharp and possibly cause an injury.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Retailers are urged not to sell the product. Consumers with questions can contact Lone Star Bakery, Inc. or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline.
