Paradise Locker Meats in Trimble, Mo., is voluntarily recalling about 120 pounds of fresh cattle heads with tonsils not completely removed, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced.Tonsils are considered a specified risk material and must be removed from cattle of all ages in accordance with FSIS regulations. SRMs are tissues that are known to contain the infective agent in cattle infected with BSE, as well as materials that are closely associated with these potentially infective tissues. The products subject to recall include boxes of "BEEF HEAD, PARADISE LOCKER MEATS." Each shipping package bears the establishment numbers "EST. 31865" inside the USDA mark of inspection.The products were sent to retail establishments and restaurants in the Kansas City, Kan., area.The problem was discovered through routine FSIS inspection.
