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

Good Food Concepts, LLC., a Colorado Springs, Colorado establishment, is recalling approximately 1,290 pounds of raw intact and non-intact beef products. The recall includes various cuts of beef, ground beef, and bundle products under the brands Callicrate Beef, Ranch Foods Direct, and others. The affected products were processed and packaged on August 3 and August 4, 2017, and bear establishment number EST. 27316 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recall was initiated after plant management notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on August 5, 2017, that a production lot of carcasses received from Callicrate Ranch on July 31, 2017, tested positive for non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) serogroup O26. The products were shipped to retail locations, wholesale locations, and restaurants in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

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 and the company are concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers' freezers. People who experience symptoms such as easy bruising, pallor, or decreased urine output should seek emergency medical care immediately.
