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.

Plain-English summary

Good Food Concepts, LLC, doing business as Ranch Foods Direct, is recalling approximately 2,606 pounds of non-intact beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The affected items were produced on June 6, 7, and 8, 2016, and bear establishment number EST. 27316. The recall includes various ground beef products, patties, stew meat, and bundle packages under the Callicrate and Ranch Foods Direct brands.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall after being notified of an E. coli O157:H7 illness possibly associated with ground beef consumption. Epidemiological investigations identified one case-patient in Colorado with an illness onset date of June 12, 2016. FSIS confirmed through laboratory testing and traceback investigation that ground beef products from Ranch Foods Direct were adulterated with E. coli O157:H7. The products were shipped to wholesale and retail locations in Colorado.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them 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.
