The USDA recalled more than 8.7 million pounds of meat from Rancho Feeding Corporation when they discovered the beef producer had "processed diseased and unsound animals and carried out these activities without the benefit or full benefit of federal inspection."

In response, Nestlé USA issued a voluntary recall of their Philly Steak and Cheese Hot Pockets after confirming that a limited quantity of meat from Rancho was used at a California facility "devoted entirely to HOT POCKETS brand sandwiches."
