Officials are issuing an urgent health notice for ground beef products after multiple consumers reported finding foreign metal objects in the meat.<\/p>\n

The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for 16-ounce (1 lb) plastic, vacuum-packed packages containing White Oak Pastures radically traditional farming, grass-fed ground beef.<\/p>\n

The beef was produced on February 26, 2026 and had a sell-by date of March 19, 2026.<\/p>\n

The product was shipped to an unspecified distributor and Mom’s Organic Markets locations in Washington, DC<\/a>, Massachusetts<\/a>, Maryland<\/a>, New Jersey<\/a>, Pennsylvania<\/a> and Virginia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The problem was discovered by the company after it received two complaints from consumers who had found metal fragments in their beef.<\/p>\n

There have been no injuries reported in connection to the health alert.<\/p>\n

A recall has not been issued<\/a> because the product is no longer for sale in stores, but it could still be in people’s freezers.<\/p>\n

Customers who have purchased this product are urged not to eat the beef and should throw it away or return it to the place of purchase, the FSIS said.<\/p>\n
