It is recommended that you check your refrigerator and freezer for ground beef made by American Foods Group. The ground beef in question is packaged under the name Green Bay Dressed Beef.

According to CBS News, the ground beef was produced on August 14, 2023, and shipped to Michigan, Georgia, and Ohio.

The USDA Food Service and Inspection Service has recalled the following products,

• Approximately 80-lb. cases containing 10-lb. plastic tubes (chubs) of "90050 BEEF FINE GROUND 81/19" with lot code D123226026.
