What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a high-risk pathogen (E. coli O103) and is linked to an ongoing outbreak investigation, but the source text explicitly states there is no definitive link between the recalled product and the outbreak, and no specific illnesses are attributed to the recalled units in this notice.

Plain-English summary

K2D Foods, doing business as Colorado Premium Foods, is recalling approximately 113,424 pounds of raw ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O103. The recalled items consist of two 24-lb. vacuum-packed packages in cardboard boxes containing raw ground beef puck. These products were produced between March 26 and April 12, 2019, and bear establishment number EST. 51308 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recall is being conducted in connection with an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and public health partners, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), into an E. coli O103 outbreak. Unopened, intact ground beef collected from a restaurant where multiple case-patients reported dining tested positive for E. coli O103. While there is currently no definitive link between this positive product and the ongoing outbreak, further traceback and product analysis are continuing to determine if the recalled products are related.

The affected products were shipped to distributors in Port Orange, Florida, and Norcross, Georgia, for further distribution to restaurants. FSIS advises restaurants that have purchased these products not to serve them and to throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions regarding the recall can contact Ashley Barnes, Customer Service Director, at (970) 313-4400.
