JTM Provisions recalls beef products due to contamination

US-based JTM Provisions is recalling nearly 14,525lb of fully cooked pulled barbequed beef products that may be contaminated.

According to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the contaminating material is understood to be pieces of rubber.

The issue was identified after the company received complaints from two consumers stating that extraneous material was found in the food products.

Products that are subject to recall were produced on 23 September last year and bear an establishment number ‘EST. 1917’ inside the USDA mark of inspection.

JTM Provisions is said to have shipped the pulled barbequed beef products to retail locations in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio.

FSIS has not yet received any reports of injury or illness due to the consumption of the recalled products.

FSIS also urged people not to consume the products and return them to the place of purchase.

The recall has been classified as Class II by FSIS, known as a health hazard situation where there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from using the product.
