Cargill Meat Solutions is recalling approximately 16,243 pounds of raw ground beef products over concerns of potential E. coli contamination by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The affected items, produced on April 26-27, were flagged by the establishment after discovering that previously segregated product had been mistakenly incorporated into the ground beef production.
While there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions linked to the consumption of these products, individuals are advised to contact a healthcare provider if concerned about illness. E. coli can lead to severe symptoms such as dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps.
FSIS urges consumers to check their refrigerators or freezers for the recalled products and advises against consumption. Items should be disposed of or returned to the place of purchase.
