Food safety is always a top concern, but when contamination hits a familiar product, it really makes you stop and think. Recently, shoppers in Queensland have been hit with an urgent recall over minced meat products. The issue? Potential plastic contamination. So, what\u2019s happening, and how should we handle it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Contamination Alert<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Warwick Meats QLD, a trusted supplier of minced beef, has issued an urgent recall for its Premium 4 Star Mince Beef 500g. The recall affects products with the best-before date of December 13, 2025, and is being taken very seriously by both the company and food safety authorities, reports 7News.<\/a> Apparently, some of the meat sold in independent retailers, including IGA stores, might contain plastic. Now, that\u2019s not something you expect when you pick up a pack of minced beef for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recall has sent ripples through the community, especially for those who rely on these retailers for their weekly grocery shopping. Warwick Meats has made it clear that the plastic could be harmful if consumed. The official advice? Don\u2019t eat the product and return it to the store for a full refund. The company has also urged consumers to seek medical advice if they have any concerns about their health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
