Steak Contaminated with E. coli Sold to Moe's
Moe’s Southwest Grill is one of the restaurants cited by Oklahoma-based National Steak and Poultry in a media statement regarding its recent E. coli steak recall of 248,000 pounds of beef possibly contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. According to the statement:
“The recall is limited to beef products sold primarily to the Moe’s, Carino’s Italian Grill, and KRM restaurants in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, South Dakota and Washington. These are the states where the USDA has determined there have been illnesses that could be linked to contaminated beef.”
The USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service announced the recall Dec. 24, stating, “there is an association between non-intact steaks (blade tenderized prior to further processing) and illnesses in” the above mentioned states. Read about the steak E. coli outbreak.
E.coli in Blade Tenderized, Non-Intact Steaks
Unlike an “intact” steak, non-intact steaks have been tenderized by puncturing the meat with blades and/or by injecting the meat with juices and brine. This improves the flavor of the steak but can mean more risk to the consumer. If there is any pathogen on a steak’s surface, such as E. coli O157:H7, this tenderizing process can drive the bacteria deep into the meat. This means that when a non-intact steak is not cooked thoroughly, (i.e. well done) it could still contain harmful pathogens that, if the steak had been intact, would have been killed in the cooking process, because they only would have been present on the steak’s exterior.
E.coli, HUS and TTP
E. coli poisoning can lead to more serious conditions, including hemolytic uremic syndrome, (E. coli HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). If you develop TTP or HUS from an E. coli infection, you may have a claim against a food manufacturer, distributor, retailer or restaurant.
Steak E. coli and Restaurant and Processor Lliability
In 1999 the FSIS declared that non-intact beef products are considered “adulterated” if they contain E. coli, and therefore anyone who gets sick with E. coli from that meat may have a legal claim against the processor of that product and the restaurant where it was served.
If you or a loved one contracted an E. coli infection after eating steak at Moe's, you may have claims against both Moe's and National Steak and Poultry.
