A recall has been issued for about 35,464 pounds of raw ground beef, including some products sold at Kroger that may contain hard plastic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said Wednesday.
The ground beef, produced on March 22, is being recalled because they could contain “extraneous materials” such as plastic.
