Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Product Contamination"

Plain-English summary

Creation Gardens, Inc., a Louisville, Kentucky establishment, is recalling approximately 22,832 pounds of raw ground beef and beef primal cut products. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on June 5, 2017. The affected products were produced on May 31, June 1, and June 2, 2017, and bear establishment number EST. 7914 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recall was initiated after plant management notified FSIS in-plant inspection personnel of two positive test results for E. coli O157:H7. The products were shipped to food service locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee. E. coli O157:H7 is a 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 have 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 safely prepare raw meat products and to cook ground beef to an internal temperature of 160°F to kill harmful bacteria.
