33,000 Pounds Of Beef Tongue Recalled
OMAHA (AP) ―
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says a north-central Nebraska meatpacker has recalled 33,000 pounds of beef tongue.
The agency announced in a release Thursday that inspectors discovered the tonsils had not been completely removed from the tongues processed by J.F. O'Neill Packing Co. of Omaha.
The agency says the recall, which involves tongues packed from July 1 through Oct. 8, represents a low risk to human health.
Tonsils are a specified risk material for mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy, and are required to be removed from cattle of all ages.
Each case bears the establishment number "EST. 889A" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The recalled beef was shipped primarily to distribution centers in Nebraska and California.
