These items at the center of the recall were shipped to institutions in New York State, as well as, in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin. The ground beef products may be contaminated with a foreign object. A food service worker filed a customer complaint after finding a foreign object in the meat during food preparation. Thankfully, no reports of injuries have been reported. FSIS is concerned that the ground beef may be in the freezers of institutions.

The items affected by the recall are:

20-lb. carton boxes containing four packages of “SKYLINE PROVISIONS, INC. GROUND BEEF 81/19” with “ITEM # 000248” printed on the label.
