Local ShopRite Recalls Store-Made Ground Beef

The ShopRite of Bensalem, located at 2200 Bristol Road (Pasqualone Boulevard), has initiated a voluntary recall of all store-made ground meat produced and sold on Tuesday, March 1.

There is a possibility that these products may contain small pieces of the black tray lining pad.  All varieties of ground meat processed in the store on Tuesday are being recalled.  All other meat products sold at ShopRite are not affected by this recall.

“We are advising customers who purchased any of these products at the ShopRite of Bensalem to return them for an immediate refund or replacement,” stated ShopRite spokesperson Karen Meleta.  “Although the pieces of the lining pad 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.

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

This is an isolated incident and affects only the ShopRite of Bensalem. ShopRite requests that customers please check the labels of any ground beef products they may have purchased from this store and may still have at home.  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.
