Overview

• A consumer complaint reporting metal fragments in fully cooked frozen ground beef led Ada Valley to notify the USDA’s FSIS and initiate a recall of approximately 1,065 pounds of product.
• The affected units, packed May 28 and 30 with lot codes 35156 and 35157 and bearing establishment number “EST. 10031,” were shipped to retailers and distributors across California, Delaware, Illinois, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
• FSIS classified the recall as Class I, signaling a reasonable probability of serious health consequences, and has urged consumers and institutions to discard or return any affected beef.
• No injuries have been reported to date, but FSIS warns that the recall remains active nationwide and could expand to include additional products.
• Ada Valley Meat Company is cooperating with federal regulators and has implemented enhanced safety checks and quality controls to prevent future contamination.
