Cary, N.C. — Food Lion, LLC on Sunday issued a recall for approximately 230 pounds of fresh ground beef that was sold at a store in Cary.

The fresh-ground beef has a sell-by-date of Oct. 22 and was sold at the Food Lion store at 980 Kildaire Farm Road, near the intersection with Southwest Maynard Road.

The beef might have been contaminated with metal, the company said in a release. Food Lion said it has received one customer complaint, but no illnesses from consuming the beef have been reported.

The recall is isolated to one day's production from the 980 Kildaire Farm store.

All varieties of fresh ground beef with a sell-by-date of Oct. 22 should not be consumed. Customers can return the beef to any Food Lion store for a refund.

I shop at Food Lion on Sawmill & Lead Mine. I have never been disappointed in the store management, staff, meat department, bathrooms, etc. The staff is pleasant and helpful. The customers are everyday folks who are pleasant. There is always shelf stocking, aisle cleaning, meat packaging, baking, pricing, going on. Self-checkout is working and clerk-assisted checkout is staffed. Yes, I will help to bag my own groceries! I like the small town feel of a grocery store; absolutely will not use huge stores. For special cuts of meat I go to Fresh Market. Bad service from Earthfare and nasty management in meat department (Brier Creek). All food handling stores run the risk of a recall. At least some stores are honest.

I can not say I am surprised. The Food Lion down off of Glenwood has gone down hill real fast and it is a relatively new store. The shelves are never stocked. The check is incredibly slow. I go to the self checkout WHEN IT IS WORKING!!

Doesn't surprise me in the least. As a former Food Lion manager (11 years, the most stressful of my life), I have seen it all. If anyone wants to place blame it needs to be put on the home office. They are the ones in charge of cutting back hours in the stores, leaving the employees overworked and miserable. They are especially famous for doing this the last quarter of each year (Thanksgiving, Christmas), which is the busiest time! Just trying to make those numbers look good and not too concerned with the fact that there are not enough baggers or that the meat department has to close at 5pm because they got an email from Scott (you guys know who I'm talking about) telling them to cut 7-10 hours in the market to make labor.
