ShopRite of Laurel Hill issued a voluntary recall on March 21, 2025, affecting store-packaged ground beef, pork, and meatloaf mix sold on March 20. The recall was prompted by a mechanical issue with a meat grinder, which may have caused small plastic fragments to mix with the products.
Customers are urged not to consume the affected meats and are instead advised to return them to the store for a full refund. No injuries or illnesses have been reported, and the recall was initiated out of an abundance of caution.
ShopRite emphasized that the issue was isolated and that affected equipment has since been repaired and tested. The store has apologized to customers and thanked them for their continued trust.
Signs were posted at the meat counter, and shoppers were directly notified via email and social media. Food safety remains a top priority for the retailer, and extra inspections will be conducted to ensure all procedures are followed.
For questions, customers may contact ShopRite’s customer service team or speak with store management. Transparency and safety are key pillars of the store’s operations, and the recall process has been swift and organized.
