Plain-English summary
Greater Omaha Packing, an Omaha, Nebraska establishment, is recalling approximately 295,236 pounds of raw beef products intended for non-intact use. The products were produced on July 13, 2021, and bear the establishment number “EST. 960A” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The recall was initiated after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) collected a routine product sample that tested positive for E. coli O157:H7.
The affected products were distributed to further processors in Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and Nebraska. FSIS has not received any confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products. 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), a type of kidney failure.
Consumers who are concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. FSIS advises consumers to safely prepare raw meat products by cooking fresh and frozen beef to an internal temperature of 145°F and allowing it to rest for at least 3 minutes, and cooking ground meat to 160°F. Consumers can contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) for more information.
