Chomps Beef Stick Recall Affects 30,000 Pounds Over Metal Contamination

Nearly 30,000 pounds of Chomps beef sticks have been recalled due to potential metal contamination, as announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The recall affects 1.15-ounce packages of Chomps Original Beef Stick Mild, produced by Idaho Smokehouse Partners, with an expiration date of February 10, 2026, and lot code 25016. The decision to recall was prompted by two consumer complaints reporting metal fragments in the product, although no injuries have been reported. The affected sticks were distributed to retail locations in California and Illinois and were manufactured between January 16 and January 23. Consumers are advised to check their products and either return them for a refund or dispose of them safely. Idaho Smokehouse Partners has stated that they are prioritizing consumer safety and have removed the affected products from the market.
