Hormel Foods Corporation has issued a voluntary recall of approximately 256,185 pounds of its Dinty Moore Beef Stew products. The recall was initiated due to consumer complaints of wood fragments found in the 20-ounce metal cans.

The United States — United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall, classifying it as a Class 1 (high risk) event, indicating a probability of serious health consequences.
