Metal Found In Food Sold To Puerto Rico Schools For The Second Time In A Week

SAN JUAN — About 4,940 pounds of ready-to-eat corned beef was recalled after a school in Puerto Rico found metal in a chub of the meat.

If Procesadora La Hacienda’s not-food-in-your-food recall sounds familiar, it’s because Productos La Aguadillana recalled nearly 18 tons of breaded chicken breasts after two schools found metal in the chicken breasts on March 8.

That recall was announced by USDA recall notice Thursday.

The USDA recall notice for Procesadora La Hacienda’s recall posted Friday, but says the company reported the problem March 7.
