Walmart is recalling frozen beef hamburger products processed by the Rancho Feeding Corporation. That facility produced beef that was not inspected by Federal inspectors and possibly made from diseased and unsound animals. No illnesses are associated with the consumption of these Jensen Meat Company products. That company released a statement saying that the recall action is not related to any contamination.
Jensen Meat Company is a consignee implementing a third party recall. Rancho Feeding Corporation told Jensen Meat that “raw materials used in whole or in part pursuant to the recall notification must be removed from commerce.” Jensen Meat products were sold at Walmart locations in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.
The Walmart products that are being recalled include Fatburger in 2 pound boxes, with UPC number 7874203525, best by date of 07/08/2014, and Establishment number 1899(A). Also recalled are Great Value 85/15 frozen hamburger patties in 3 pound bags, with UPC number 7874207495, best by date of 10/07/2014 and prior, and establishment number 1899(A).
