How to Check Whether Your Product Matches

A matching product name or photograph is not enough by itself. Compare every identifier available on your item or packaging with the official notice.

  1. Confirm the full product and brand or recalling-firm name.
  2. Compare package size, color, flavor, model, style, or configuration when listed.
  3. Check UPC, lot, batch, serial, date code, recall number, or USDA establishment number.
  4. Review the recall date and distribution information without assuming every seller is listed.
  5. Open the official USDA source below and follow its current instructions.

If a required identifier is missing, contact the recalling company or issuing agency through the official notice rather than guessing.

Consumer Action Recorded in the Source

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. 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.
