A Chicago-based company is recalling more than 2,000 pounds of raw ground beef over plastic contamination concerns.

FOOD SAFETY ANALYSIS FINDS MEAT, POULTRY RECALLS REMAIN 'SKY-HIGH'

In a notice posted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspections Service (FSIS), officials said Amity Packing Company is calling back some 2,020 pounds of beef after “clear, thin pliable plastic” was found in the product. The recall was sparked after at least two consumers reported finding plastic in the raw beef.

The meat was shipped to retail locations in various states, including Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to the FSIS. No adverse reactions have been reported at this time.

The establishment number — EST. 6916 — can be found in the right, front side of the package. Product labels can be found here.
