Kenosha Beef International Ltd. Food Recall Aug 2 2012

Nearly 19 tons of beef patties were recalled by Kenosha Beef International Ltd of Wisconsin on August 2 2012. The beef products in question are the company’s frozen bacon-cheeseburger patties, which may contain pieces of gasket material. The announcement came yesterday from the U.S Department of Agriculture on behalf of the Wisconsin company.

The recall includes two-pound cartons containing six patties of Sam’s Choice Fireside Gourmet Black Angus Beef Patties Bacon and Aged Cheddar. The products have been distributed in the states of North Carolina, Maine, Ohio, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Pennsylvania and Indiana. The packages that are being recalled have establishment number “EST 425B” and a ‘best if used by date” date code 120812B.

Although there have been no reported cases of illness or injury as the result of the beef patties, the company alerted the USDA about the issue of gasket material in the patties after receiving a consumer complaint.

The FarmCast, host Troy Randall speaks with Doug Luedke, Vice President of Service, and Davin Peterson, Executive Vice President of Aftermarket at 21st Century Equipment, to discuss the importance of proactive service and how it helps farmers reduce downtime during their busiest seasons. The conversation focuses on the Winter Service Inspection Program, a comprehensive approach designed to keep equipment running at peak performance and limit costly in-season breakdowns through preventative maintenance and expert technician support.

Doug and Devin explain how 21st Century Equipment’s service teams have evolved to meet the needs of today’s connected machines. With more technology and data integrated into modern equipment, technicians now play a vital role in both mechanical repairs and precision ag support. Through advanced diagnostics, machine monitoring, and John Deere’s Expert Alerts, they can identify and address potential issues before they become major problems—saving customers valuable time, money, and frustration.

Throughout the discussion, the team shares real-world success stories demonstrating how proactive inspections and customer-focused service help maximize uptime and efficiency for every operation. Whether it’s a large tractor, combine, or small mower, the goal remains the same: to provide trusted, reliable support that helps farmers and landowners stay productive and confident in their equipment year-round.
