Georgia Publix store recalls ground beef products with ‘foreign material’

Publix recalled six ground beef products sold at one of their Georgia stores because they have “the potential for foreign material.”

This not-food-in-your-food recall involves Ground Chuck, Ground Sirloin, Ground Round, Ground Lean, A/B Ground and Market Ground Beef sold Wednesday at the Publix at 2095 GA Hwy. 211 in the Atlanta suburb of Braselton.

Stores in Macon, Columbus and other parts of Georgia were not affected by the recall. The foreign material was only found in the Braselton location.

“As part of our commitment to food safety, potentially impacted product has been removed from the store shelves,” Publix Director of Communications Maria Brous said in the announcement.

The beef products sold since Thursday aren’t involved in this recall. Anyone with the recalled ground beef should return it for a refund or throw it deep into the garbage where pets can’t get to it.

Questions about this recall can be directed to Publix at 800-242-1227.
