The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for a ground beef product that may be contaminated with foreign material, specifically metal. A recall was not requested because the product is no longer available for purchase.
The problem was discovered by the company after receiving two complaints from consumers.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.
The ground beef item was produced on Feb 26, 2026. The following product is subject to the public health alert:

The product has the establishment number “EST 34729” printed inside the USDA mark of inspection and is stamped on the back with “105761 Sell by 03/19/26.”
This item was shipped to a distributor, and Mom’s Organic Markets retail locations in Washington D.C., Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
