Officials say a recall for this product was not requested since it is no longer available for purchase.
The FSIS says this problem was discovered following two complaints from consumers. To date, there have been no confirmed reports of injuries due to consuming the product.
This White Oaks Pastures ground beef product that is included in the health alert is stamped on the back with “105761 Sell by 03/19/26”, and was first produced back on February 26, 2026.
The item was shipped to a distributor, and Mom’s Organic Markets retail locations in D.C., Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
Moving forward, the FSIS is telling consumers to check their freezers for the ground beef product and either throw it away or return it to the place of purchase.
