Plain-English summary

J.T.M. Provisions Co., a Harrison, Ohio establishment, is recalling approximately 960 pounds of cooked ground beef patty products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall involves 20-lb. cases containing four 5-lb sealed pouches of COOKED BEEF PATTY CRUMBLES with case code 47860 and a Julian date of 18137. These products bear establishment number EST. 1917 inside the USDA mark of inspection and were produced on May 17, 2018.
