The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall of approximately 11,250 pounds of possible contaminated ground beef products.
Stone Meats Inc. of Pleasant View, Utah, initiated the voluntary recall because the ground beef products that were distributed in Utah and Nevada might contain pieces of metal.
Being recalled were 5-pound, 73 percent lean-27 percent fat packages of ground beef with a "sell-by" date of "09/19/07" and codes "EST#6214 7," "EST#6214 8," "EST#6214 9," or "EST#6214 10."
Consumers with question can contact the company at 801-782-9825.
