Tucson Company Recalls 915 Pounds Of Tamales

A Tucson company is recalling around 915 pounds of beef tamales. The ready-to-eat products contain meat that was not federally inspected.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the Tucson Tamale Wholesale Company is recalling tamales on various dates from Aug. 11 to Sept. 13. The recalled products are bulk boxes containing pairs of tamales, including two of red chile beef tamales, chipotle beef tamales and chipotle beef and cheese tamales.

Customers can look for the code M45860 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The USDA said the problem was discovered during routine inspection activities.

So far, authorities said, there have not been any confirmed reports of anyone getting sick from the tamales.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
