OMAHA, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Omaha-based J.F. O'Neill Packing Co. is recalling 33,000 pounds of beef tongues that may not have had the tonsils completely removed, officials said.

Tonsil tissue is at risk of containing the infective agent for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, commonly called "mad cow disease," the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Thursday.

"EST. 889A" was stamped inside the USDA mark of inspection on cases of meat being recalled. The cases were sold under the following brand names: J.F. O'Neill Packing Co., Whole Foods Natural, Whole Foods Organic, Premier Protein Partners, Montana Ranch Brand, Grassland Beef, Austin Meats, Morgan Ranch, Kobe Beef America, Imperial Wagyu Beef, Brand Advantage Wagyu, and A.D. Rosenblatt.

The recalled products were shipped between July 1 and Oct. 8.
