Nearly 30,000 pounds of beef sticks recalled because they may have metal pieces

Over 14 tons of beef sticks have been recalled for possible contamination with metal.

Idaho Smokehouse Partners, LLC, is recalling about 29,541 pounds of ready-to-eat beef sticks, the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on Thursday.

Vacuum-sealed packages of Chomps Original Beef Stick Mild in the 1.15-ounce size are subject to the recall.

‘The problem was discovered after the firm notified FSIS that it received two consumer complaints reporting that pieces of metal were found in the product,’ stated the FSIS.

There have not yet been any reports of adverse health effects from consuming the beef sticks.

The affected product was produced from January 13 to 15 of this year, had the lot code 25016 and had the expiration date of February 10, 2026.

Consumers with questions and concerns are advised to contact the Shelley, Idaho-based company.

‘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,’ stated the agency.
