Over 100 Tons Of Hormel Spam Recalled

More than 228,000 pounds of Hormel Spam and other canned meat products were recalled because they might contain shards of metal. According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the problem was discovered after four customers complained of metal objects in canned Hormel products. The Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) did not say how the pieces of metal might have gotten into the products. Officials say throughout the United States, 12-ounce metal cans labeled "SPAM Classic" with the designation "EST. 199N" should not be eaten because of a risk of minor oral injuries.
