USDA-FSIS Announcement Regarding Snapps Ferry Ground Beef Recall: Tennessee Firm Recalls Ground Beef Products Due to Possible E. coli O157:H7 Contamination

Dec. 17, 2007 - Snapps Ferry Packing, an Afton, Tennessee firm, is voluntarily recalling approximately 102 pounds of hamburger patties and bulk ground beef that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.

The products subject to recall are:

4-pound packages of "GROUND BEEF PATTIES."
Various weight bulk packages of "GROUND BEEF."

Each product subject to recall bears the establishment number "Est. 9085" inside the USDA mark of inspection as well as a "PACKED ON" date of "DEC.11.07" or "DEC.12.07" (see label above).

The products were sold at the establishment's retail counter in Afton, Tenn., on Dec. 11 and 12, 2007.

The problem was discovered through routine FSIS testing. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of this product. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a physician.

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.

Millions of pounds of ground beef have been recalled in the last few months. If you are diagnosed with E. coli, it most likely was from ground beef (hamburger). For a lawsuit against responsible parties , there should be a DNA fingerprint (PFGE pattern) done on an E. coli isolate from your stool sample. If you have not given your doctor a stool sample for this purpose, you need to go to your doctor and have it done. Please contact us if you test positive for E. coli O157:H7.
