Ada Valley Meat Company has recalled approximately 1,065 pounds of fully cooked frozen ground beef due to potential metal contamination, according to a Tuesday announcement from the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The affected product was packed on May 28, 2025 and May 30, 2025 in 20-pound cardboard box cases containing five-pound plastic bags with lot codes 35156 and 35157 on their labels. The product was shipped to several establishments and distributors in California, Delaware, Illinois, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
A recall was issued after a consumer complaint reported pieces of metal were found in the ground beef products. Per the FSIS, there have been no confirmed reports of injury at this time. Consumers who are concerned about an injury should contact a healthcare provider, the agency stated.
“FSIS is concerned that some products may be in institutional freezers,” the recall specified. “Institutions who have purchased these products are urged not to serve these products. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.”
“FSIS wants to make sure consumers are aware that some of the recalled products could bear a different establishment number on the label due to further distribution and processing by other establishments. Consumers are urged to carefully review the information in this announcement, including the product and label information. Please check back frequently as additional products could be added.”
