A Chicago company is recalling about 2,020 pounds of raw ground beef that was shipped to nine states, federal health officials said.

The beef is being recalled due to possible contamination with thin pliable plastic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Friday.
