Those affected range in age from 15-88.

People sickened in the outbreak have reported consuming ground beef either at local restaurants supplied by McNees or by purchasing beef directly from the company. Possible liable parties (companies responsible for compensating victims) in this outbreak include the following:

  • McNees Meats and Wholesale LLC
  • A restaurant.

Money damages in an E. coli case can include amounts for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering and other financial, physical and emotional losses. If the E. coli O157 infection has caused hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), the damages will be greater. Read about a Michigan E. coli lawsuit.

McNees Beef Recall

In response to the outbreak, McNees Meats recalled approximately 360 pounds of ground beef product products due to possible E. coli contamination.

The products subject to recall include:

  • 36 - 10 lb. Bags of “McNees Ground Beef Bulk.”

Each clear plastic bag bears establish number “EST. 33971” within the USDA mark of inspection. The products subject to recall were produced on July 15, and July 21, 2011, and sold to restaurants in Armada, Lapeer and North Branch, Mich. The products were also sold from a retail establishment owned by McNees Meats and Wholesale, LLC.

FSIS was notified of an investigation of E. coli O157 illnesses on August 4, 2011.Working in conjunction with the Michigan Departments of Community Health (MDCH) and Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), 3 case-patients in Michigan have been identified with illness onset dates between July 18 and July 28, 2011. As a result of the epidemiologic investigation, FSIS determined there is a link between the ground beef products and the illnesses in Michigan.
