Headline: Massive Jerky Recall: Metal Found in Golden Island Brand Sold at Costco and Sam’s Club

Washington, D.C. – A major recall has been issued for Golden Island Fire-Grilled Pork Jerky Korean Barbecue Recipe sold at Costco and Sam’s Club nationwide, after consumers reported finding pieces of metal in the product. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced that LSI, Inc. is recalling approximately 2.2 million pounds of the popular snack.

The metal contamination is believed to have originated from a conveyor belt used during the jerky’s production. While no injuries have been reported to date, FSIS warns that consuming metal fragments poses a health risk, potentially causing damage to the mouth, throat, and intestines.

The recalled jerky was sold in 14.5-ounce and 16-ounce plastic pouches. Consumers are urged to check their pantries for the following information on the packaging:

  • Product Name: Golden Island Fire-Grilled Pork Jerky Korean Barbecue Recipe
  • Sizes of Bags: 14.5-ounce and 16-ounce plastic pouches
  • Lot Codes: (Check the comprehensive list shared by the FSIS)
  • Best By Dates: October 23, 2025, through September 23, 2026
  • Establishment Number: M279A inside the USDA mark of inspection

While the affected jerky is no longer being sold at Sam’s Club or Costco, FSIS is concerned that it may still be present in consumers’ homes. Individuals who have purchased the recalled product are advised to discard it immediately or return it to the store for a full refund. Both Costco and Sam’s Club are offering refunds for the recalled product.

Consumers who have eaten the jerky and have concerns are advised to contact their healthcare provider. Anyone with questions about the recall or who has found metal pieces in their jerky can contact LSI, Inc. directly at info@goldenislandjerky.com.
