The USDA announced Wednesday a voluntary recall by Vern’s Moses Lake Meats of raw beef that may have been exposed to bovine spongiform encephalopathy, more commonly known as mad cow disease.
After this recall notice, Interstate Meats, an Oregon-based ground beef supplier, notified Albertsons and several other Northwest retailers that certain product provided by Interstate meat is subject to the recall.
In response, Albertsons said it has removed these beef products from its Washington, Oregon and northern Idaho stores.
Albertsons is asking any customers in Washington, Oregon and northern Idaho, who purchased the following products, to return them to Albertsons stores.
Customers concerned about the safety or quality of any ground beef purchased at Albertsons in Washington, Oregon and Northern Idaho may return it for a full refund at any Albertsons store, Albertsons announced Wednesday.
The USDA stated there is a low likelihood the beef being voluntarily recalled contains any infectious agent, and that the product is being recalled as a precaution.
