Health Alert Issued for Ground Beef Sold in 5 States and DC
Consumers urged to discard or return 16-ounce White Oak Pastures ground beef after two complaints of metal contamination, with no injuries reported, FSIS said.
- On March 23, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert for 16-ounce packages of White Oak Pastures grassfed ground beef due to potential metal contamination.
- White Oak Pastures initiated an internal review after receiving two consumer complaints reporting metal fragments in beef produced on February 26, 2026.
- Impacted 16-ounce vacuum-packed packages bear establishment number 'EST 34729' and are stamped '105761 Sell by 03/19/26,' distributed to Mom's Organic Markets across six states and the District of Columbia.
- Although FSIS did not request a formal recall because the beef is no longer available for purchase, consumers should discard or return any packages found in freezers for a refund.
- While there have been no confirmed reports of injury, FSIS advises consumers with questions to contact Processing Operations Manager Justin Wiley at 641-2081 or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline.
