1-pound chubs of (93/7) ground beef. Each package bears the identifying case code “69558.”

6-pack trays of (93/7) ground beef patties. Each package bears the identifying case code “67106.”
4-pack trays of (93/7) ground beef patties. Each package bears the identifying case code “67115.”

The ground beef chub products bear a use-by/sell-by date between “05/31/09” and “06/21/09;” the tray packs of ground beef bear a use-by/sell-by date between “06.02.09” and “06.23.09;” and the ground beef patty products bear a use-by/sell-by date between “06.01.09” and “06.22.09.”

According to KKTV, consumers should discard these products if they still have them in their freezer.   I would most certainly go farther than that and take it back to the store for a refund if you have any of these products.
