GROUND BEEF DISTRIBUTED IN TRENTON, NEW JERSEY RECALLED DUE TO POSSIBLE
E. COLI O157:H7 CONTAMINATION
June 8, 2008 – Dutch’s Meat, Inc., a Trenton, New Jersey firm, has recalled approximately 13,275 pounds of ground beef products because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.
The following products are subject to recall:
- 10-pound plastic bags of “DUTCH’S MEATS, INC., GROUND BEEF.”
- 10-pound vacuum-packed plastic bags of “DUTCH’S MEATS, INC., GROUND BEEF.”
- 10-pound boxes of “DUTCH’S MEATS, INC., HAMBURGER PATTIES.”
The ground beef products bear the establishment number “EST. 5424” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The recalled products were packaged from May 27, 2008 through June 6, 2008. This packaging date is stamped on the bag label or box.
These ground beef products were distributed to restaurants and food service institutions in the Trenton, New Jersey area. These ground beef products were not available to consumers for direct purchase in retail locations.
The problem was discovered by FSIS routine microbiological testing. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of this product. Anyone with signs or symptoms of foodborne illness (E. coli symptoms) should consult a medical professional.
E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and in the most severe cases, kidney failure (E. coli and kidney failure - renal failure). The very young, seniors and persons with weak immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness.
