Ground beef recall sparks warning to customers

Publix Super Markets on Tuesday issued a voluntary recall for ground beef products produced at a store in Venice, Florida. It is the chain's second ground beef recall in three weeks at separate locations.

The recall, announced on the grocery store chain's website, pertains only to a "select batch of Ground Beef products produced at the store in the Jacaranda Commons Shopping Center on June 18, 2024."

It was issued because of the "potential of foreign material in the product." A similar description was used in a May 29 Publix ground beef recall in Alpharetta, Georgia. It has not been confirmed if any foreign material has been found in the products.

The recall applies to 13 affected products produced at the Venice location, including ground chuck, ground sirloin and beef burger, with sell-by dates ranging from June 20 to June 28, depending on the specific product.
