The problem was discovered after the firm received consumer
complaints about metal wire embedded in the product and notified
FSIS of the issue. There have been no confirmed reports of
adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone
concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare
provider. FSIS is concerned that some product
may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these
products are urged not to consume them. These products should be
thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS
routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling
firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken
to make certain that the product is no longer available to
consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be
posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
