Georgia-based Hormel Foods Corporation is recalling roughly 256,185 pounds of its \u201cDinty Moore Beef Stew\u201d due to the contamination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s Food Safety and Inspection Service said.<\/p>\n
The recall covers 20-ounce metal cans of Dinty Moore Beef Stew with a best-by date of February 2028, a lot code of \u201cT02045,\u201d and an establishment number \u201cEST 199G\u201d printed on the can. <\/p>\n
Hormel learned of the issue after three separate customers complained about finding wood pieces in their beef stew, the USDA said. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n

Another chimed in: \u201cSplinty Moore Beef Stew?\u201d <\/p>\n
Others joked that the added wood would, at the very least, provide consumers with some added fiber. <\/p>\n
\u201cWill relabel it as \u2018Improved: Now with Extra Fiber!\u2019\u201d one person said. <\/p>\n
