Adams Farm Slaughterhouse Beef Recall

Adams Farm Slaughterhouse, LLC., an Athol, Massachusetts, establishment, is recalling approximately 2,574 pounds of beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The recall was prompted by an association between Adams Farm Slaughterhouse ground beef and a case of E. coli poisoning in the state of Massachusetts, according to the USDA-FSIS:
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) confirmed a positive ground beef sample for E. coli O157:H7, which it collected during an epidemiological investigation. Working in conjunction with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH), FSIS determined that there is an association between the ground beef products and an illness in the state of Massachusetts.
The following products are subject to recall:
  • 1,025-pounds of "Beef Cuts and Ground" packed for Mazzarese.
  • 697-pounds of "Beef Cuts and Ground" packed for Side Hill Farm.
  • 852-pounds of "Beef Cuts and Ground" packed for Sweet Water Farm.

Each package bears a label with the establishment number "EST. 5497" inside the USDA mark of inspection as well as the packaging date of "11/11/2009." The beef products were distributed to private owners on three separate farms in the state of Massachusetts.

E. coli O157:H7 infections can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), which cause life-threatening complications, including the following:
