The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has announced a massive beef recall in New York State. Skyline Provisions, Inc., headquartered in Harvey, Illinois, is recalling around 5,620 pounds of raw ground beef.

The recall revolves around certain items that were sent to institutions not just in New York State but also in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin. There is a possibility that the ground beef products contain foreign objects that can be harmful. A food service worker raised concerns after discovering a foreign object in the meat during food preparation, prompting a customer complaint. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported so far. The FSIS is worried that these ground beef products may still be present in the freezers of institutions.
These are the products impacted by the recall:
