INDIANA (WHAS11) -- Over 35,000 pounds of raw beef products have been recalled due to a possible contamination with foreign materials, specifically hard plastic.
The recalled beef includes the 'Private Selection' and 'Laura's' labels sold in Fred Meyer stores.
A Fred Meyer spokesman told KGW that although the labels are the same, the company has a west coast distributor for its ground beef and Oregon and Washington stores are not part of the recall.
The products came from distribution centers in Virginia and Indiana. The USDA issued the recall after a consumer issued a complaint of finding blue, hard plastic pieces in one of the products.
No illnesses or injuries have been reported at this time.
The recalled beef products were produced on March 22, 2018 and could be in consumers' freezers. Consumers are urged to immediately dispose of the recalled products, or return them to the place of purchase.
