Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc., an Amarillo, Texas establishment, is recalling nearly 10,000 pounds of raw ground beef products that may be contaminated with “reflective mirror-like material,” the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced this week.
Approximately 93,697 pounds of raw, ground beef items were produced on Nov. 2.
The following products are subject to recall:
10-lb. chubs containing “HILL COUNTRY FARE GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN/ 27% FAT with BEST BEFORE OR FREEZE BY: NOV 25, 2022.”
5-lb. chubs containing “HILL COUNTRY FARE GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN/ 27% FAT with BEST BEFORE OR FREEZE BY: NOV 25, 2022.”
5-lb. chubs containing “H-E-B GROUND CHUCK GROUND BEEF 80% LEAN/ 20% FAT.”
The products bear establishment number “EST. 245E” on the seam of the chub. These items were shipped to retail locations in Texas.
The problem was discovered when the firm notified FSIS that they received consumer complaints reporting findings of “mirror-like” material in ground beef products purchased from grocery stores.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

Back in the 70’s, we were pretty poor so Mom used to get canned vegetables a lot. I’ll never forget her opening a can of spinach one time, and there was a big fat caterpillar in it. Of course, it was dead, but still…so gross. I’ve never eaten canned spinach since that day, and truthfully, once I got on my own, I rarely eat any canned vegetables. I dislike them very much. Give me fresh if possible, and if not, frozen. I will eat canned beans some, well, and canned tomatoes like Rotel.
I don’t buy meat in chubs. If I can’t see it, I’m not buying it.
Ok... yeah, like I said a couple of posts up.. I tries 2 or 3 of those.. did NOT like them at all :P
(ty for info ;))
During sanitation room washes I installed hidden cameras pointing at the staging area tubs. It took about an hour of recording time. It was the area supervisor throwing her chewing gum in the meat. (Food production rules ban any buttons, gum, mints, medicine, food stuffs, etc...)
She got arrested. The automated systems are truly amazing at foreign material detection all the way thru every process until it's packaged.
I worked there a long long time ago, and I suspect they are almost completely manned by illegal aliens nowadays. I don’t know for sure, though.
Do they ban “reflective mirror-like material,” cosmetics?................

Mirror, Mirror in my meat…
Which cheeseburger can I eat?
Yes. Even fake nails, nail polish, jewelry, no pockets above waist level. Hair nets. Beard nets.
I went to a slaughterhouse once as a little kid, maybe 7 or 8. It was smelly and terrifying at the same time...............
My guess would be the overhead mirror spheres. No glass is allowed near food production until packaging. They have those plastic mylar mirrors in every room and hallway. The shiny coating laminated onto the sphere starts to peel off after a lot of time. If that material fell into the process ot would do exactly what’s described. However, there are optical and texture probes that should pick it up. But skill levels of the people in the industry have been spiraling down for about 15 years now.
I go in with another family and buy half a cow directly from the local rancher.
New imported cheap labor on the job.
In the 60s and 70's our town had farmers who had delivery trucks and customer routes. Fresh beef, eggs, poultry, cheese, produce, but the grocery store chains paid off local politicians to ban them. My grandmother was devastated. She hated grocery stores. Every couple weeks after the farmers were banned from delivery sales I had to take her to the butcher, the cheese shop, the bakery, the spice shop, and such. No "one stop shopping".
