Plain-English summary

PT Farm, LLC, a North Haverhill, New Hampshire establishment, is recalling approximately 15 pounds of raw lamb products that may be contaminated with E. coli. The recalled products consist of a neck and one leg derived from a carcass produced on September 6, 2016. These items were shipped to a retail store in Somerville, Massachusetts, and sold at the retail counter on September 7, 2016.

The recall was initiated after the establishment was notified on September 7, 2016, of an E. coli positive water supply sample result and a resulting water boil notice from the North Haverhill Municipality Water Department. FSIS and the company are concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers' freezers.

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 is conducting recall effectiveness checks to verify that the product is no longer available to consumers.
