Dutch Prime Hamburger Recall

Dutch Prime Foods, Inc., a Long Branch, New Jersey firm, has recalled approximately 345 pounds of hamburger because it may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on November 24, 2008.

The following products are subject to recall:
5-pound and 10-pound vacuum sealed plastic bags of "DUTCH PRIME FOODS HAMBURGER."
The recalled packages of hamburger were packed in 5- and 10-pound shipping cases which bear the establishment number "EST. 5206" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recalled Dutch Prime hamburger was produced on November 18 and distributed to restaurants in New Jersey. None of the hamburger was sold at retail, according to the FSIS.

The possible E. coli contamination was discovered through a routine FSIS sampling procedure. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of this product.
