Spoiled Ground Beef Recall Expanded

WASHINGTONOne Great Burger of Elizabeth, N.J., is expanding its Jan. 10, 2011, ground beef recall to include an undetermined amount of additional ground beef products that may have become spoiled, USDAs Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Jan. 14.

The recalled meat is considered adulterated because the companys food safety plan was inadequate to produce safe product. In a continued investigation of the Jan. 10, 2011 recall, FSIS became aware of additional consumer complaints of discoloration and off-odors in the products.

The recall involves 4-pound boxes of "Winn Dixie beef patty 100% BEEF" containing 16 frozen patties weighing .25-pounds each. Each box bears establishment number "EST. 34575" within the USDA mark of inspection. The products have "sell by" dates of "01/01/11" through "02/27/11" printed on the bottom of each box, followed by the lot code "204110."

The products were produced between April 2010 and May 2010 and distributed to grocery stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. The recalled products are in addition to the 21,400 pounds ground beef recalled in California and Oregon on Jan. 10, 2011.
