JBS Swift Beef E. coli Recall

Beef recall alert for consumers throughout the United States, and particularly in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin, where at least 18 cases of E. coli O157 may be associated with consuming JBS Swift beef products.

In response to this E. coli outbreak, JBS Swift Beef Company, a Greeley, Colorado establishment, has recalled approximately 380,000 pounds of beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. This June 28, 2009 recall is an expansion of a June 24 recall of 41,280 pounds of JBS Swift beef products.

If you or a loved one is part of this outbreak, your state department may have advised you to contact a lawyer. Our law firm has a national reputation in the area of E. coli litigation. Please contact our lawyers for a free consultation. We do not get paid unless you win.

Anyone experiencing bloody diarrhea should suspect an E. coli infection and seek medical attention immediately. You should request an E. coli O157:H7 test. This is critical for preserving your legal rights. Contact our lawyers if you have any questions.

The recalled JBS Swift Beef products were produced on April 21, 2009 and were distributed both nationally and internationally. The June 24 JBS Swift Beef recall announcement involved beef distributed to Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin.

Each box bears the establishment number "EST. 969" inside the USDA mark of inspection as well as the identifying package date of "042109" and a time stamp ranging from "0618" to "1130." However, these products were sent to establishments and retail stores nationwide for further processing and will likely not bear the establishment number "EST. 969" on products available for direct consumer purchase. Customers with concerns should contact their point of purchase.

The recalled products include intact cuts of beef, such as primals, sub-primals, or boxed beef typically used for steaks and roasts rather than ground beef. FSIS is aware that some of these products may have been further processed into ground products by other companies. The highest risk products for consumers are raw ground product, trim or other non-intact product made from the products subject to the recall.
