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
Central Valley Meat Co., Inc., a Hanford, California establishment, is recalling approximately 34,222 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with Salmonella Dublin. The affected products were produced on July 23, 2019, and include 1-lb. and 2-lb. chub packages of Stater Bros. 100% Pure Ground Beef, as well as 20-lb. cases of Stater Bros. 93/7 Ground Beef.

The recall follows an investigation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) into a Salmonella Dublin outbreak. Epidemiological investigations identified 10 case-patients in 6 states with illness onset dates ranging from August 8, 2019, to September 22, 2019. A traceback investigation indicated that a case-patient consumed ground beef produced by Central Valley Meat Co., Inc.
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 that ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F to kill harmful bacteria. Individuals concerned about an illness should contact their health care provider.
