WASHINGTON, Aug. 31, 2015 – Holten Meat Inc., a Sauget, Ill. establishment, is recalling approximately 501,509 pounds of Extra Value Meats Quarter Pound Beef Patties products due to misbranding, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The individually frozen patties were produced between Feb. 13, 2015 and July 28, 2015. The following products are subject to recall: 

• 1.5-lb. cartons containing 6 pieces of “EXTRA VALUE MEATS QUARTER POUND BEEF PATTIES.”
