Over 256,000 pounds of Dinty Moore Beef Stew recalled due to wood fragments
Cans of beef stew from a popular food company are being recalled after it was discovered that over 256,000 pounds of the meal were contaminated with wood fragments. Georgia-based Hormel Foods Corporation is recalling roughly 256,185 pounds of its 'Dinty Moore Beef Stew' due to the contamination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said. The recall covers 20-ounce metal cans of Dinty Moore Beef Stew with a best-by date of February 2028, a lot code of 'T02045,' and an establishment number 'EST 199G' printed on the can. Hormel learned of the issue after three separate customers complained about finding wood pieces in their beef stew, the USDA said. There have been no injuries reported, though health officials warn consumers should dispose of the product and refrain from consuming it. Anyone concerned after potentially eating a wood fragment should contact their healthcare provider, officials added. Social media users were quick to make jokes about the unfortunate recall, especially in the Reddit community r/nottheonion, which shares true stories that could be pulled from the satirical news site. 'Hormel apologizes for including something almost edible in their stew,' one snarky commentator wrote. Another chimed in: 'Splinty Moore Beef Stew?' Others joked that the added wood would, at the very least, provide consumers with some added fiber. 'Will relabel it as 'Improved: Now with Extra Fiber!'' one person said. In a statement provided to The Independent, Hormel said they were committed to maintaining the 'highest standards' for their products. 'Out of an abundance of caution, Hormel Foods is voluntarily recalling 17,080 cases of a single code date of 20 oz. DINTY MOORE Beef Stew as it may contain extraneous wood material. No other DINTY MOORE products are affected, and no illnesses or injuries have been reported in association with this recall,' the company said.

Urgent recall of 256,000 pounds of canned beef stew over fears they contain wood
Hundreds of thousands of pounds of canned beef stew have been recalled in the US because they may be contaminated with wooden fragments. Hormel Foods Corporation on Wednesday recalled 256,185 pounds of 20-ounce metal cans of its Dinty Moore beef stew that were distributed to stores nationwide. 'The problem was discovered after the establishment notified FSIS that they had received three consumer complaints reporting pieces of wood in the beef stew product,' stated an announcement from the Food Safety and Inspection Service, a government agency regulating public health. Affected cans were produced on February 4, 2025, and have the best by date of February 2028. They have the lot number T02045 printed on the can with possibly more numbers at the end, as well as the establishment number EST 199G. There have not been any reports of consumers falling ill from eating the stew. Customers who are worried about related sickness should contact their doctors. The FSIS, which is an arm of the United States Department of Agriculture, is telling customers to throw away the cans or return them. Customers with questions are encouraged to contact the company based in Tucker, Georgia. More Trending Hormel Foods Corporation did not immediately say which specific states received the cans. The company owns Skippy Foods LLC, which recalled thousands of pounds of its peanut butter in 2022 over fears that they had stainless steel fragments. It comes only a few weeks after Vietti Food Group recalled 4,515 cases of Yellowstone Brown Sugar Molasses Baked Beans because the labels did not list soy as part of the ingredients. The beef stew is not the only product that has been recalled recently over fears of containing foreign material. In late April, Upper Crust Bakery LP recalled more than 800 cases of its multigrain sourdough, ancient grains hoagie roll and whole grain multigrain breads after glass fragments were discovered on the top surface of some of the items.
