Beef Products Recalled Over Animal Drug Contamination

The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said Sampco is recalling about 87,000lb of beef products after a possible contamination with an animal drug.

The products may contain Ivermectin, a broad-spectrum anti-parasitic used as a de-worming agent, the FSIS said.

The problem was discovered through routine sampling of cooked beef products imported from Brazil.

The products being recalled include 12oz cans of Libby’s Corned Beef and 35lb boxes of Seasoned Cooked Beef.
