STEVENSVILLE, Md. - A Food Lion store in Queen Anne's County has issued a voluntary meat recall, in what they call "an abundance of caution."
Food Lion says the recall affects only one of their stores; the Stevensville, Md. location at 300 Thompson Creek Mall Rd.
This recall includes any fresh meat products, including beef, chicken and pork, purchased at that location between Thursday, Jan. 26 at 9:30 p.m. and Friday, Jan. 27th at 9 a.m.
Food Lion says the recall was prompted as a result of a possible customer who may have poured liquid into a fresh meat case at the store. They say those products were either wrapped or pre-packaged and thus do not believe there is any health risk to consumers.
Food Lion reports that upon
learning of the incident, the company completed a thorough cleaning of
the area, discarded all products that may have been affected by the
situation and immediately conducted a thorough investigation. In a statement, the company says it "takes the safety of its products very seriously and is confident the
situation has been fully resolved.
The company is working with authorities to investigate the situation.
Anyone that may have purchased fresh meat products at the aforementioned store during the specified time frame can return them for a full refund.
