Customers Complain A "Chemical Taste"

The issue with the meat was learned after officials received four complaints from restaurants reporting a "chemical taste" in the meat products.

"After investigating, the firm determined that its mineral oil supplier sent them a drum containing non-food grade mineral seal oil labeled as food grade mineral oil. The non-food grade mineral seal oil was applied to food contact surfaces and not directly to the meat products," the FSIS added.
