Plain-English summary

Lakeside Refrigerated Services, a Swedesboro, N.J. establishment, is recalling approximately 120,872 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O103. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall on April 25, 2022. The ground beef products were produced from February 1, 2022, through April 8, 2022, and bear establishment number “EST. 46841” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The problem was discovered during routine FSIS testing of imported products. There have been no confirmed reports of illness or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. FSIS classifies this as a Class I recall, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the regulated product may cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers.
