Michigan-based Ada Valley Meat Co. is recalling approximately 1,065 pounds of a fully cooked frozen ground beef product that may be contaminated with foreign material, specifically metal.

The frozen ready-to-eat ground beef item was packed on May 28 and 30, 2025. The following product is subject to recall: 20-pound cardboard box cases containing four 5-pound plastic bags of "Ada Valley FULLY COOKED GROUND BEEF" with Pack Date 5/28/25 with lot code 35156 or Pack Date 5/30/25 with lot code 35157 represented on the label.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number EST. 10031 inside the USDA mark of inspection. This item was shipped to other establishments and distributors in California, Delaware, Illinois, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

The problem was discovered after the firm notified USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service that it received a consumer complaint reporting that pieces of metal were found in the product.

There have been no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury should contact a health care provider.

FSIS is concerned that some products may be in institutional freezers. Institutions who have purchased these products are urged not to serve these products. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

FSIS wants to make sure consumers are aware that some of the recalled products could bear a different establishment number on the label due to further distribution and processing by other establishments. Consumers are urged to carefully review the information in this announcement, including the product and label information.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website.
