Montanans Urged to Check Their Pantry After National Recall Hits Popular Product

When temperatures rise outside my taste buds have a tendency to change. On a hot spring or summer day, I don't normally reach for a soup or a stew. They usually just sit in my cupboard until it becomes more "stew weather".

Even though it doesn't look like we will have "stew weather" soon, you should check your cupboards for this latest recall. Hormel Foods has recalled 256,185 pounds of their beef stew, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

The specific stew that's being recalled is the 20-oz. Dinty Moore Beef Stew with "BEST BY FEB 2028" and lot code "T02045" printed on the cans.
