40,000 Pounds Of Meat From Petaluma Company Recalled

PETALUMA (CBS / AP) -- A North Bay company has recalled more than 40,000 pounds of meat products because it was produced without a full federal inspection.

The United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Monday that Rancho Feeding Corporation of Petaluma recalled 41,683 pounds of meat products. The items, which were produced Jan. 8 and shipped to distribution centers and retail stores in California, include beef carcasses, 20-pound to 60-pound boxes of beef feet, oxtail, hearts, liver, cheeks, tripe and tongue.

There have been no reports of illnesses.
