Thousands of pounds of ground beef sold at H-E-B and Central Market stores across Texas are being recalled due to the risk of the meat being contaminated with a mirror-like material, the USDA said Wednesday.
In a news release, H-E-B said the recall amounts to nearly 94,000 pounds of ground beef made by Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc. in Amarillo. The beef was sold under the brand names of Hill County Fare and H-E-B sold at H-E-B, Joe V’s, Mi Tienda, and Central Market stores in Texas.
