The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 245E” on the seam of the chub.

The beef was distributed to H-E-B and sold at H-E-B, Joe V’s, Mi Tienda and Central Market stores in Texas, H-E-B officials said.

The problem was discovered when the firm notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service that they had received consumer complaints reporting findings of “mirror-like” material in ground beef purchased from grocery stores.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

FSIS officials say they are concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased the products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
