Another recall is in your freezer. Tyson Foods recalls an estimated 94,000 pounds of ground beef. The recall was sparked after consumers reported finding “mirror-like” material in beef. Tyson Foods has not explained what this material could be. You have likely purchased the beef if you live in Texas. The recalled meat was sold at H-E-B, Joe V’s, Mi Tienda, and central market grocery stores in Texas under “Hill Country Fare.”
Last, bad news for anyone expecting to gift an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max, you won’t be able to. According to Apple, the estimated delivery time for most phones is December 28th. The longer wait times are due to supply chain woes and the increased Covid restrictions at Apple’s main facility in China.
