FSIS announced:

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 5712” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to distributor locations in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan for further distribution to restaurants and other institutional users.

The problem was discovered when the establishment notified FSIS that samples of ground beef products submitted to a third-party laboratory for microbiological analysis tested positive for E. coli O157:H7. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps 2–8 days (3–4 days, on average) after exposure the organism. While most people recover within a week, some develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This condition can occur among persons of any age but is most common in children under 5-years old and older adults. It is marked by easy bruising, pallor, and decreased urine output. Persons who experience these symptoms should seek emergency medical care immediately.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in institutional or restaurant refrigerators or freezers. Restaurants and institutions are urged not to serve these products. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

The Epoch Times reports:

FSIS said it had been notified by Valley Meats that samples of ground beef products submitted to a third-party laboratory for microbiological analysis tested positive for a particular strain of E. coli known as E. coli O157:H7, which is the most common strain to cause severe intestinal infection in humans.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports roughly 70,000 cases of E. coli O157:H7 infection in the United States each year.

However, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions owing to consumption of the impacted products highlighted in the recall so far, officials said.

“Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider,” FSIS said.

E. coli is a type of bacteria commonly found in the environment, as well as in the intestines of people and animals. While most strains of E. coli are harmless and play an important role in a healthy human intestinal tract, other strains can result in health conditions or even death.

Symptoms of E. coli may include dehydration, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, urinary tract infections, respiratory illness, pneumonia, and/or other illnesses, according to the CDC, with symptoms typically appearing within a few days after exposure to the organism.

In extreme cases, some individuals can develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). While HUS can occur among persons of any age, it is most common in children under 5 and older adults.
