Chomps beef and turkey sticks recalled after metal found in products

Chomps is recalling beef and turkey sticks produced by Idaho Smokehouse Partners because they may contain metal fragments, the maker of the protein snacks and the USDA said on Thursday.

According to an announcement from the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the recall involves nearly 30,000 pounds of Chomps-branded ready-to-eat meat sticks shipped to stores in California and Illinois.

The problem was discovered after two people reported finding metal fragments in the beef sticks, with no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption of the protein snacks, both Chomps and FSIS said.
