These items were distributed to various locations across Ohio and Texas and intended for foodservice in states like Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, and Iowa. There’s a chance they may have been shipped nationwide. The issue came to light after the FSIS received a tip regarding possible contamination.
