WASHINGTON—The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced that Beef Packers, Inc., a Fresno, Calif., firm, is recalling approximately 22,723 pounds of ground beef products that were distributed to retail stores in Arizona because they may be linked to an outbreak of Salmonella.
The recall involves 60-pound cases of "GRD Beef Fine 93/07 10/60." Each case bears the identifying case code W69363 with Use/Freeze by dates of 10/11/09. The ground beef products were produced Sept. 23, 2009 and bear the establishment number "EST. 31913" printed on the case code labels. The ground beef products were distributed to a retail distribution center in Arizona. Because these products were repackaged into consumer-size packages and sold under different retail brand names, consumers should check with their local retailer to determine whether they may have purchased any of the products subject to recall.
