Recall: Ground Beef With Metal Clips

An Illinois meat processing plant has recalled 241,000 pounds of ground beef because some of its institutional customers complained of finding metal packaging clips in the hamburger.

The recall was announced by the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, which designated i

t a Class III event: "Health Risk Low.''

According to the FSIS notice, the ground beef in question was sold in 20-pound cases that each contained four five-pound "casing chubs.'' The same type of clips fastened to the chubs were found in some ground beef.

FSIS said it had not received any consumer complaints.

The recalled beef was made between January 2009 and May 2009, distributed in Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
