The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Cargill Meat Solutions is recalling over 16,000 pounds of raw ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.

“The raw ground beef items were produced on April 26-27, 2024,” FSIS stated.

“Diarrhea, stomach cramping, vomiting, and nausea can result after exposure to E. coli bacteria,” The Epoch Times noted.

Per FSIS:

The following products are subject to recall [view labels]:

  • 2.25-lbs. plastic-wrapped trays containing “93% LEAN 7% FAT ALL NATURAL LEAN GROUND BEEF” with lot code 117 and establishment number “EST. 86P” printed on the back of the label.
  • 1.33-lbs. plastic-wrapped trays containing four “PRIME RIB BEEF STEAK BURGERS PATTIES” with lot code 118 and establishment number “EST. 86P” printed on the back of the label.
  • 2.25-lbs. plastic-wrapped trays containing “85% LEAN 15% FAT ALL NATURAL ANGUS PREMIUM GROUND BEEF” with lot code 117 and establishment number “EST. 86P” printed on the back of the label.
  • 2.25-lbs. plastic-wrapped trays containing “80% LEAN 20% FAT ALL NATURAL GROUND BEEF CHUCK” with lot code 118 and establishment number “EST. 86P” printed on the back of the label.
  • 1.33-lbs. plastic-wrapped trays containing four “80% LEAN 20% FAT ALL NATURAL GROUND BEEF CHUCK PATTIES” with lot code 118 and establishment number “EST. 86P” printed on the back of the label.

    • The products subject to recall all bear the USDA mark of inspection on the front of the product label, and establishment number “EST. 86P” printed on the back of the product label. These items were shipped to Walmart retail locations nationwide.

    The establishment reported the issue to FSIS after they identified that previously segregated product had been inadvertently utilized in the production of ground beef.

    There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.

    The Epoch Times reports:

    The labels of the products under suspicion of E. coli contamination don’t have the “Cargill” name and are instead branded under the “All Natural” label. All the products under the recall notice have the USDA mark of inspection on the front of the product label and the establishment number “EST. 86P” printed on the back of the product label.

    According to the FSIS, the issue was raised after Cargill Meat Solutions identified previously segregated products had been inadvertently utilized in the production of ground beef.

    “FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers,” the announcement said.

    “Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.”

    Only last week, the USDA issued a recall alert for nearly 8,220 pounds of frozen meat pizzas because they contained misbranding and an undeclared allergen. According to the USDA, the items subject to the recall were manufactured by 802 VT Frozen in Newport, Vermont, between April 25 and April 25. They were sold at stores in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and distributed to fundraisers in those states.
