Plain-English summary
Dean & Peeler Meatworks, LLC, a Poth, Texas establishment, is recalling approximately 1,835 pounds of fresh ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on August 29, 2023. The affected products were produced on August 22, 2023, and include vacuum-sealed bags of "Peeler Farms WAGYU BEEF GROUND BEEF" and "R-C RANCH TEXAS CRAFT MEATS WAGYU" ground beef and patties with specific lot codes.
The issue was identified after a third-party laboratory tested a sample of the ground beef and it tested presumptive positive for E. coli O157:H7. The products bear establishment number EST. 51283 and were shipped to restaurant locations in the greater San Antonio, Texas area. FSIS notes that there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
Restaurants are urged not to serve these products and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. FSIS advises consumers to cook ground beef to an internal temperature of 160 F to kill harmful bacteria.
