Kenosha Beef International, which also operates under the name Birchwood Meats & Provisions in Columbus, is recalling an undetermined amount of Taco Bell seasoned beef products sent to restaurants nationwide that may be contaminated with metal shavings, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Monday.
The seasoned beef items were produced on various dates from Sept. 20 to Oct. 4. The following products are subject to recall:
- Cases containing eight 5-pound plastic bags of "TACO BELL SEASONED BEEF Taco and Burrito Filling" with use by dates of "L2 11/4/19" to "L2 11/18/19".
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 10130” on the case. These items were shipped to five distribution centers and from there to restaurant locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered when the company notified FSIS on Oct. 12, 2019, that it received three customer complaints.
