More than 2 million pounds of ready-to-eat Korean barbecue pork jerky product shipped to Costco and Sam’s Club stores nationwide are being recalled over fears that it may be contaminated with pieces of metal, federal health officials warned.
South Dakota-based LSI Inc. recalled its jerky product, labeled Golden Island fire-grilled pork jerky Korean barbecue recipe, after multiple consumers reported finding wiry metal in the product, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said in the warning notice posted on Saturday.
The company discovered that the metal found in the products had originated from the conveyor belt used in production.
