complaints or reports of injury at this time. Anyone concerned about an injury
from consumption of this product should contact a physician.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms
notify their customers (including restaurants) of the recall and that steps are
taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
