Ground beef sold at a Publix might have “foreign materials” in it.
Ground beef sold at a Publix might have “foreign materials” in it.

For the second time in a week, Publix announced a recall of Market Ground Beef for “the potential of foreign material in the product.”

This not-food-in-your-food recall came days after the same product was recalled for the same reason, but involving a store in Sandy Springs, Georgia.

This time, the store involved is in Gainesville — not Gainesville, Florida, home of the University of Florida, but Gainesville, Georgia, home of the University of North Georgia.

The Market Ground Beef made at the Limestone Marketplace store, 2155 Limestone Ridge NE, on June 26 with a sell-by date of June 27 should be tossed in the garbage or taken back to the store for a refund.

Any questions should be directed to Publix at 800-242-1227.
