We’ve pulled a package of ground beef out of the freezer with the best of intentions to cook with it (French onion meatballs! Cheesy pastelón! Hawaiian burger sliders!), and then life happens. Perhaps you, like me, have held that neglected package in your hands and have asked, “Can I just stick this back in the freezer?” Here’s everything you need to know about when it is and isn’t safe to refreeze ground beef.

Frozen Food Recalled In North Carolina For Possible 'Metal' Contamination

The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Check your freezer. Perdue Foods is recalling more than 167,000 pounds of frozen chicken nuggets and tenders after some customers reported finding metal wire embedded in the products. According to Perdue and the U.S. Agriculture Department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, the recall covers select lots of three products: Perdue Breaded Chicken Tenders, Butcher Box Organic Chicken Breast Nuggets and Perdue Simply Smart Organics Breaded Chicken Breast Nuggets. FSIS and Perdue determined that some 167,171 pounds (75,827 kilograms) of these products may be contaminated with a foreign material after receiving an unspecified number of customer complaints. In a Friday announcement, Maryland-based Perdue said that the material was “identified in a limited number of consumer packages.” The company later “determined the material to be a very thin strand of metal wire that was inadvertently introduced into the manufacturing process,” Jeff Shaw, Perdue’s senior vice president of food safety and quality, said in a prepared statement. Shaw added that Perdue decided to recall all impacted packages “out of an abundance of caution.”

The issue was discovered after consumers complained about metal wires found in chicken products. No injuries or illnesses have been linked to the recall.

Modern-day manufacturing might mean that it's much easier for foods to make it to our grocery stores and into our kitchens, but the unfortunate downside is that with plenty of production comes some room for error. Food recalls are relatively common; in 2023, the United States saw 65 food recalls due to anything from pathogens to undeclared allergens — even import violations. The most important thing to do when you realize you have products involved in a recall is to remove them from your home, but what does that mean exactly?
