USDA-FSIS News Release:  Recall of Ground Beef distributed to Connecticut and New York Restaurants Due to Possible Contamination with E. coli O157:H7

WASHINGTON, October 23, 2006 - Omaha Beef Company, Inc., a Danbury, Conn., firm, is voluntarily recalling approximately 1,680 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.

The ground beef subject to recall include:

  • 10-pound boxes of "HAMBURGER PATTIES, OMAHA BEEF CO., INC."
  • Five- and 10-pound bags of "HAMBURGER, OMAHA BEEF CO., INC."

Each package bears the establishment number "Est. 2769" inside the USDA mark of inspection, as well as the case code, "101861."

The problem was discovered through routine FSIS microbiological testing. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of these products.

The ground beef products were produced on October 18 and were distributed to restaurants in Connecticut and several counties in southern New York State.

E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration. The very young, seniors and persons with compromised immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness.
