Cargill Meat Solutions, a Fort Morgan, CO, establishment, is recalling approximately 25,288 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, according to a Aug. 23 announcement by USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The ground beef items were produced on Aug. 16, 2018 and include 10-lb. chubs of “EXCEL 93/7 Fine Grind Ground Beef” with “Use/Frz. By Sep 05” on the chub label and a “pack date 08/16/2018” on the box label. The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 86R” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
These items were shipped to warehouses in California and Colorado. The problem was discovered on Aug. 22 by the establishment when they reviewed their records and determined that the product may be associated with product that was presumptive positive for E. coli O157:H7. The company then notified FSIS. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
