Plain-English summary
Lakeside Refrigerated Services, a Swedesboro, N.J. establishment, is recalling approximately 42,922 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced. The raw ground beef items were produced on June 1, 2020, and shipped to retail locations nationwide. The recall includes specific vacuum and tray packages of Marketside Butcher and Thomas Farms grass-fed ground beef and patties, as well as Value Pack fresh ground beef, all bearing establishment number EST. 46841.
The problem was discovered during routine FSIS testing. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. While most people recover within a week, some develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a type of kidney failure that is most common in children under 5 years old and older adults.
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. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. FSIS advises consumers to safely prepare raw meat products and only consume ground beef that has been cooked to a temperature of 160°F.
