An outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 in Colorado (5 people), New York (1 person) and Maryland (1) has prompted a recall of Rocky Mountain Natural Meats bison products.

On July 2, 2010, Rocky Mountain Natural Meats, a Henderson, Colorado establishment, recalled approximately 66,000 pounds of ground and tenderized steak bison products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.

The recall came after the USDA-FSIS associated Rocky Mountain Natural Meats bison products with an E. coli O157:H7 outbread that has sickened five people in Colorado, one person in New York and one person in Maryland. The E. coli O157:H7 illnesses in Colorado had onset dates between June 4, 2010 and June 9, 2010. These six people were identified as victims of the outbreak when genetic testing of the E. coli bacteria that sickened them determined that they were all sickened by E. coli O157:H7 with an indistinguishable PFGE pattern.

The following products are subject to recall:

  • 16-ounce packages of “GREAT RANGE BRAND ALL NATURAL GROUND BISON.” These products have a “sell or freeze by” date of June 21, June 22 or June 24, 2010.
  • 16-ounce packages of “NATURE’S RANCHER GROUND BUFFALO.” These products have a “sell or freeze by” date of June 22, 2010.
  • 16-ounce packages of “THE BUFFALO GUYS ALL NATURAL GROUND BUFFALO 90% LEAN.” These products have a lot number of 0147.
  • 12-ounce packages of “GREAT RANGE BRAND ALL NATURAL BISON STEAK MEDALLIONS.” These products have a “sell or freeze by” date of June 23 and June 24, 2010
  • 12-ounce packages of “GREAT RANGE BRAND ALL NATURAL BISON SIRLOIN STEAKS.” These products have a “sell or freeze by” date of June 20, June 23 and June 24, 2010
  • 15-pound boxes of “ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATURAL MEATS, INC. BISON 10 OZ SIRLOIN STEAK.” These products went to restaurants and bear a Julian Code of 0141.

The products subject to recall bear the establishment number “EST. 20247” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These products were produced between the dates of May 21, 2010 through May 27, 2010, and were distributed to retail establishments nationwide and food service distributors in Utah and Arizona. While the sell-by dates for these products have passed, FSIS and the establishment are aware that consumers may also freeze the product before use and there is concern that some product may still be frozen and in consumers’ freezers.
