The packages bear establishment number “Est. 85M” on the back label, and was available in select ALDI stores nationwide.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service issued the alert after ALDI received a complaint about the pieces of plastic in the beef.
FSIS said that there were no confirmed reports of injury or illness from eating the beef, but said it is concerned that some beef is in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. It urged consumers not to eat it, but to throw it away or return it.
Consumers with questions can call Cargill at 844-419-1574, the alert said.
