Was Nolan Ryans Beef affected in recent ground beef recalls?
No. None of Nolan Ryan’s Beef was involved in recent recalls of ground beef. Our beef is produced in a close-loop system that does not involve companies that have been included in the recalls. The closed-loop system allows us to isolate our beef and ensure strict food safety protocols are followed. We work closely with our processing partners in all areas of animal handling, food safety and quality control to ensure we provide only the best beef possible. Testing is only one part of our food safety program. Safe handling must continue once the beef reaches the grocery store to ensure that spoilage and contamination does not occur. The same holds true once the beef arrives in your home. Its important that consumers handle raw meats properly and use good food safety practices at home. Hand washing, keeping raw and cooked foods separated, and ensuring propoer cooking temperatures is critical. Ground beef should always be cooked thoroughly and at least to 160 degrees internal temperature.
