Another day, another recall. Chomps Beef Sticks were recalled due to potential metal contamination. On Mar. 20, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced that Idaho Smokehouse Partners, LLC, a Shelley, Idaho establishment, had recalled approximately 29,541 pounds of ready-to-eat beef stick products after two consumers reported finding metal pieces in the meat. No injuries were reported until the recall announcement date.

Out of an abundance of caution, Chomps made the decision to include additional product beyond what was required to ensure all potentially affected items were removed from the market,” Chomps said in a statement on Saturday.
