More than 2.2 million pounds of ready-to-eat Korean barbecue pork jerky is being recalled nationally.
LSI Inc. initiated the recall after consumers reported finding pieces of wiry metal in the product, federal food safety officials announced on Friday.
The jerky, sold under the “GOLDEN ISLAND fire-grilled PORK JERKY Korean BARBECUE recipe” label, was shipped to Costco and Sam’s Club stores nationwide.
The recall applies to 14.5-ounce and 16-ounce plastic pouches bearing establishment number M279A inside the USDA mark of inspection, with best-by dates ranging from October 23, 2025, through September 23, 2026.
LSI, based in Alpena, South Dakota, traced the metal fragments to the conveyor belt used during production. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said there have been no confirmed injuries, but urged anyone concerned to speak with a healthcare provider.
FSIS classified the alert as a Class I recall, its most serious category, indicating a reasonable probability that eating the product could cause serious health consequences.
The agency warned that some of the jerky may still be in consumers’ homes. Anyone who purchased it should throw it away or return it to the store.

FSIS said it will conduct recall effectiveness checks and will post a retail distribution list when available at fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
