Price Chopper recalls beef patties

As part of a precautionary multi-brand recall announced by Fairbank Farms of Ashville, N.Y., Price Chopper has issued a voluntary recall of pre-packaged four-pack and eight-pack 80 percent lean ground chuck and 85 percent lean ground round patties and four-pack 90 percent lean ground sirloin patties with a bottom-of-the-package sell-by date of May 13. The recall is being conducted because the product may contain small pieces of hard plastic.

In addition to pulling the product off of its shelves, Price Chopper has initiated its Smart Reply phone program which notifies customers within a given household who may have purchased the item in question using their AdvantEdge card.

Consumers who have purchased packages of these patties may return them to their local Price Chopper for a full refund.

Consumers with questions or concerns should visit the Price Chopper Web site at www.pricechopper.com or call the Fairbank Farms consumer line at 1(800) 724-1136.
