Texas company recalls nearly 91,000 pounds of beef

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture says a Texas company is recalling nearly 91,000 pounds of ground beef products that might be contaminated with pieces of metal.

Corpus Christi-based Sam Kane Beef Processors is recalling the beef products after four consumer complaints were received about pieces of metal, approximately 3 mm in size, being found.

Three of the products being recalled — packages of 3, 5 and 10 pounds — were sold by HEB stores and another was a set of 10 pound packages of formed patties made from Sam Kane Beef Processors “Ground Chuck.”

The packages were produced between Sept. 9, 2014 and Sept. 18, 2014, with sell by dates between Sept. 29, 2014 and Oct. 8, 2014. The products were shipped to retail outlets in Texas.
