Cargill Meat Solutions Corp. in Milwaukee is recalling approximately 5,522 pounds of beef tongues that may not have had the tonsils completely removed, USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced.
Tonsils are considered a specified risk material and must be removed from cattle of all ages in accordance with FSIS regulations. SRMs are tissues that are known to contain the infective agent in cattle infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy, as well as materials that are closely associated with these potentially infective tissues.
Subject to recall are various weight cases of "BEEF TONGUE #1 White." Each case bears the establishment number "EST. 17690" on the product label.
The products were produced between Oct. 12 and Oct. 14 and shipped to distribution centers in Illinois for further sale.
The problem was discovered during FSIS inspection activities at the establishment.
