Plain-English summary
Procesadora La Hacienda, Inc., a San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico establishment, is recalling approximately 10,200 pounds of ready-to-eat corned beef products. The recall was initiated because the products may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically soft plastic and metal. The affected items are 10-lb. boxes containing two 5-lb. packages of PROCESADORA La Hacienda, Inc. CORNED BEEF, TUBED, produced on October 4, 2018, and October 9, 2018. These products bear establishment number EST. 21217A inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The products were shipped to institutions in Puerto Rico. The issue was identified after the company received consumer complaints from schools that had received the product. Although distributed to schools, the items resulted from a commercial sale and were not part of food provided by the USDA for the National School Lunch Program.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has received no reports of injury or illness from the consumption of these products. School nutrition professionals who purchased these items are urged not to prepare or consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
