What happened

American Beef Packers, Inc., located in Chino, California, is recalling approximately 24,428 pounds of raw beef products that have been deemed unfit for human consumption. The recall involves multiple types of beef products including boneless beef chucks, ribeye steaks, sirloins, and tenderloins, all produced and packaged on August 21, 2019. The products were distributed to federal establishments in California and Oregon. The recall occurred because a beef carcass that was under inspection and awaiting laboratory test results was mistakenly released and processed into various raw beef items before the test results were received. There have been no confirmed reports of anyone becoming ill from consuming these products.

Consumers who have purchased any of the recalled products should not consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. The affected products can be identified by specific lot numbers and bin numbers for bulk items, or product codes for cases, with establishment number EST. 34741 on the USDA mark of inspection. The recall notice notes that some product may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. Anyone concerned about a reaction from consuming these products should contact a healthcare provider.
