Company Recalls 2 Million Pounds of Barbecue Pork Jerky
A South Dakota company, LSI, Inc., is recalling over 2.2 million pounds of Korean barbecue pork jerky due to potential contamination with metal wire.
Consumers had complained about finding pieces of wiry metal in the jerky, prompting the company to voluntarily pull the product from stores like Costco and Sam’s Club.
Company officials said the metal came from a conveyor belt used in production.
No confirmed injuries have been reported. The recall includes 14.5-ounce and 16-ounce plastic pouches of meat jerky labeled “Golden Island fire-grilled pork jerky Korean barbecue recipe” with a one-year shelf life.
- Roughly four dozen lots of jerky are affected
- Packages contain the establishment number M279A inside the USDA mark of inspection
