Recall: 2.2 million pounds of pork at Costco & Sam’s Club could have wiry metal

The latest not-food-in-your-food recall was made Friday by LSI, which pulled 2,277,540 pounds of pork jerky sold at Costco and Sam’s Club stores after finding that it might have “pieces of metal.”

That’s from the USDA’s announcement concerning Golden Island Korean Barbecue Pork Jerky, which says LSI “received multiple complaints from consumers finding pieces of wiry metal in the pork jerky product. LSI, Inc. determined that the metal originated from the conveyor belt used in production.”
