FSIS inspection personnel said a carcass was retained and a sample collected for further analysis. However, the carcass was released and processed into raw beef products and distributed before test results were received. 

The intact and non-intact raw beef products, including boneless beef chuck, ribeyes and sirloins were packed and produced on August 21. The following products are affected by the recall:
