The Food and Drug Administration issues a recall for the meat, and the seller notifies its customers.

Explanation:

When there is a serious or potentially serious risk to consumers, the FDA works with sellers and distributors to recall products (remove them from store shelves) and notify customers through press releases and other communications.
