Plain-English summary
Pride of Florida, a Raiford, Florida establishment, is recalling approximately 64,797 pounds of raw beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The recall includes various raw ground beef items produced between September 23, 2019, and October 10, 2019, under brands such as Circle A Brand, Clarks 5, and Southeast Protein Purveyor. These products bear establishment number EST. 18506 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The recall was initiated after the firm was notified by a third-party laboratory that a sample tested positive for E. coli O157:H7, although the associated products had already been shipped to commercial distributors and a cold storage warehouse in Florida. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
Consumers should discard these products or return them to the place of origin. FSIS advises consumers to safely prepare raw meat products and to cook ground beef to an internal temperature of 160°F using a food thermometer to ensure harmful bacteria are killed.
