What happened

Carolina Ingredients recalled beef gravy mix because testing found elevated lead levels in some samples. The affected product was a 50-pound commercial bag distributed to a single customer in Georgia.

Who is at risk

This primarily affects food service businesses and institutions that received this product, rather than individual home consumers, since it was shipped to a single commercial customer.

What to do

If you work at a food service facility or restaurant that received this product, stop using it immediately and contact your supplier. Home consumers are unlikely to have purchased this product, as it was sold in large commercial quantities to one business customer.
