Manchester ShopRite Recalling Meat Ground In Store Last Friday

ShopRite of Manchester is recalling all store-made ground meat produced and sold last Friday, Oct. 3, store officials announced in a news release.

The store, at 1001 Route 70 West, is recalling the packages -- which have a sell-by date of Oct. 3 -- because of the possibility they contain small metal pieces from the grinding process, according to the release.

“We are advising customers who purchased any of these products at the ShopRite of Manchester to return them for an immediate refund or replacement,” stated ShopRite spokesperson Karen Meleta. “Although this may not cause an immediate health risk if ingested, we wanted to alert the public so appropriate steps can be taken.” No injuries related to the recall have been reported.

This is an isolated incident and affects only the ShopRite of Manchester. ShopRite requests that customers please check the labels of any ground meat products they may have purchased from this store. Please return any affected products for a full refund or replacement. Pre-packed ground meat products and ground meat sold in other ShopRite stores in the area are not affected by this recall.

ShopRite has reached out to its ShopRite Price Plus Club customers who have purchased this product to alert them to the recall via phone or email.
