WASHINGTON, July 29, 2025 - Ada Valley Meat Company, an Ada, Mich., establishment, is recalling approximately 1,065 pounds of a fully cooked frozen ground beef product that may be contaminated with foreign material, specifically metal, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The frozen ready-to-eat ground beef item was packed on May 28, 2025, and May 30, 2025. The following product is subject to recall [view labels]:

The products subject to recall bear establishment number "EST. 10031" inside the USDA mark of inspection. This item was shipped to other establishments and distributors in California, Delaware, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
The problem was discovered after the firm notified FSIS that it received a consumer complaint reporting that pieces of metal were found in the product.
There have been no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some products may be in institutional freezers. Institutions who have purchased these products are urged not to serve these products. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS wants to make sure consumers are aware that some of the recalled products could bear a different establishment number on the label due to further distribution and processing by other establishments. Consumers are urged to carefully review the information in this announcement, including the product and label information. Please check back frequently as additional products could be added.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
