Metal Fragments in Ground Meat Prompt a Delaware County ShopRite Recall: What Shoppers Need to Know

If you’ve picked up fresh ground beef or pork from the ShopRite on Chester Pike in Eddystone recently, there’s some important news you should know. On July 15, ShopRite issued a recall for all fresh, in-store ground meat sold at its Delaware County location after staff discovered metal fragments—believed to be from a damaged grinder—in products processed on July 14.

ShopRite has pulled all ground meat processed in-house that day, which includes:

Any of these products with a sell-by date of July 14 could be affected.

If you purchased any of these meats, do not consume them. Instead, return them to the store for a full refund or replacement. ShopRite is also making it easy for Price Plus® club card customers: refunds will be automatically credited to your card—no receipt necessary.

Yes—the recall only affects fresh, store-ground meats produced at the Eddystone location on July 14. Pre-packaged meats from other suppliers and products made at other ShopRite locations are not involved in the recall.

Currently, no injuries related to this recall have been reported.

If you have questions or concerns, call ShopRite Customer Care at 1-800-746-7748 or contact the Eddystone store directly.

This recall is classified as a Class 1 health hazard, meaning there’s a risk of serious health consequences if the product is consumed. ShopRite’s Price Plus® system helps contact affected customers quickly, so it’s a good idea to keep your profile up to date.

Food recalls aren’t new in the state. Earlier this year, nearly 100,000 pounds of beef were recalled by another company over E. coli concerns, highlighting how important it is for stores and shoppers alike to be vigilant about product safety.
