Plain-English summary

Shamrock Foods Company, doing business as Gold Canyon Meat Company, is recalling approximately 6,876 pounds of raw ground beef patties.

The recall covers seven specific varieties of vacuum-packed beef chuck patties, including 6-ounce, 8-ounce, and 7-ounce options, as well as slider patties.
