DUCHESS, Canada (NewsNation Now) — More than 38,000 pounds of frozen, raw ground beef was recalled after being shipped to stores in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina, the USDA said.

JBS Food Canada ULC recalled 80-pound boxes that contain eight 10-pound packs of “Balter Meat Company 73/27 ground beef” because the meat was not inspected prior to shipment.


The products have “use by/freeze by” dates of Aug. 9 and Aug. 10 and pack dates of July 20, July 21 or July 22. The lot codes are 2020A or 2030A on the label.

No cases of adverse reactions have been reported.
