Plain-English summary
Interstate Meat Dist. Inc., a Clackamas, Oregon establishment, is recalling approximately 28,356 pounds of raw ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The products were produced on December 20, 2021, and bear establishment number “EST. 965” inside the USDA mark of inspection or printed next to the time stamp and use or freeze by date.
The recall was initiated after a retail package of ground beef was purchased and submitted to a third-party laboratory for microbiological analysis, where the sample tested positive for E. coli O157:H7. FSIS assessed the laboratory’s accreditation and methodologies and determined the results were actionable. The affected items were shipped to retail locations in Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps, and in some cases, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
