LSI, Inc., of Alpena recalls 2 million pounds of barbecue pork jerky that may contain metal wire
On Friday, a South Dakota company recalled more than 2.2 million pounds of Korean barbecue pork jerky sold at Costco and Sam's Club stores.
Company officials said the metal came from a conveyor belt used in production after customers who found wiry metal prompted LSI, Inc. to pull the product.
The recall includes 14.-5-ounce and 16-ounce pouches labeled Golden Island fire-grilled pork jerky Korean barbecue recipe, with best-by dates Oct. 23, 2025 to Sept. 23, 2026 and no confirmed injuries.
Consumers should not eat the recalled jerky and should throw it away or return it to stores for a refund, as roughly four dozen lots are affected.
Food safety experts note contamination with foreign objects occasionally occurs, and the recall highlights production risks after federal health officials reported more than 2.2 million pounds affected.
