Plain-English summary
Baraka Bakery and Grocery, a retail firm in Nashville, Tennessee, is recalling an undetermined amount of Halal ground beef products. The products were processed and packaged between April 19, 2017, and April 26, 2017, and sold to consumers at the company's retail location in Tennessee. The recall was initiated after routine sampling by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) revealed possible adulteration with E. coli O157:H7.
E. coli O157:H7 is a bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. In some cases, it can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a type of kidney failure. While most people recover within a week, HUS is most common in children under 5 and older adults. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
Consumers who purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS advises consumers to cook ground beef to an internal temperature of 160°F to ensure harmful bacteria are killed.
