Hormel Foods recalls SPAM after pieces of metal found in some cans [View all]

(CNN) - Hormel Foods is recalling more than 228,000 pounds of canned pork and chicken products.

The reason? They may be contaminated with pieces of metal.

The US Department of Agriculture says the products in question were produced from Feb. 8 - 10 of this year.

They include 12-ounce metal cans of Hormel "SPAM Classic" with a best-by date of Feb. 20 - 21 and 12-ounce metal cans of "Hormel Foods Black Label Luncheon Loaf," also with a Feb. 20 - 21 best-by date.
