Finding a piece of metal in your frozen pork or beef might be enough for you to rethink your dinner plans. To ensure that doesn’t happen in your kitchen, a Los Angeles company is recalling more than 48,000 pounds of frozen meat that may be contaminated with metal.

Officials with FSIS and the company say they have received no reports of injury or illness associated with the consumption of the products.


The affected beef products were produced between August 12, 2014 and December 16, 2014, while the pork products were produced between August 5, 2014 and August 6, 2014. The meat was shipped to restaurants and retail outlets in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York.


The following products are subject to recall:

• 2.2 lb. packages of “MISHIMA SUKIYAKI BEEF” bearing the establishment number “EST.1163” inside the USDA mark of inspection and package ID number “15069.”
