Fairbury Steaks Ground Beef Recall
The products subject to recall include:
* 10-pound packages of "BULK FRESH GROUND BEEF."
The possible E. coli O157:H7 contamination was discovered through FSIS microbiological sampling, i.e., a sample of the ground beef tested positive for E. coli O157:H7.
The recalled Fairbury Steaks products were sold in 10-pound packages labeled "BULK FRESH GROUND BEEF" to a restaurant in Ruskin, Nebraska.
Neither Fairbury Steaks nor the USDA-FSIS has provided the name of the Ruskin, Nebraska restaurant to which the recalled ground beef was sent. According to the FSIS, it routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers (including restaurants) of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. We question the effectiveness of these "effectiveness checks."
FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of these products. We just hope the Ruskin, Nebraska restaurant either had not yet served the meat to customers or cooked the meat very well.
Labels: ground beef recall, hamburger recall
