If you’re a jerky eater and shopped at Costco or Sam’s…
More than 2 million pounds of ready-to-eat Korean barbecue pork jerky product shipped to Costco and Sam’s Club stores nationwide are being recalled over fears that it may be contaminated with pieces of metal, federal health officials warned.
South Dakota-based LSI Inc. recalled its jerky product, labeled Golden Island fire-grilled pork jerky Korean barbecue recipe, after multiple consumers reported finding wiry metal in the product, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said in the warning notice posted on Saturday.
The company discovered that the metal found in the products had originated from the conveyor belt used in production.

I know a lot of folks buy bulk from both Costco and Sam’s, so that’s why I’m sending this around.
Thankfully, ‘I’ haven’t bought any of that brand. Actually, my favorite jerky is Robertson’s, which is sold by Loves. But I haven’t really eaten any in 10 months, due to the pain meds and what it did to my stomach… sigh
Also, to be honest, I’m not a fan of Korean food… 🙂
Love me some Kalbi ribs with kimchi , and rice (w/ potato mac salad in Hawaii). I’d eat that jerky , if it wasn’t full of wire .
PORK jerky? Never made that; made lots of beef jerky and also some venison jerky in my dehydrator. With the venison, I had to freeze it for 30 days to kill potential parasites first. I don’t think I want any pork jerky, because I don’t know how it was prepared.
Thanks for the PSA. I don’t have any of it but have seen it on the shelves.
Had the stuff once, a year ago, and wasn’t impressed.
Too sweet, too wet, too sticky, and the flavor was “just not right”.
Hey Old NFO
I am a fan of Korean food, yeah I blame my Dad, LOL
Link Snacks Incorporated (LSI) , I figgered that out after chewing on the PSA for a while ….Har Har hAR , get it ? Jerky , Chew …
No longer have enough teeth for jerky but thanks for the warning.
Amazing there were no metal detectors.
I’ve seen this happen before.
290 mg Sodium/0z. Nope. Wife is on a low sodium diet and I am following suit just for G.P. And I have always been a sucker for Teriyaki flavored jerky. Seriously, I encourage everyone to read the labels and do the math.
I developed a little taste for Korean food while I was over there. Gotta have some every once in a while.
All- Good points… Yes, we all do ‘revert’ to type at times…LOL
