Wisconsin Department of Health Press Release: E. coli O157:H7 linked to ground beef patties sold at Sam's Club. (Illness onset from September 23, 2007.) Infected with the outbreak strain of E coli O157:H7 and reporting exposure to Sam's Club ground beef patties.
The USDA has announced a recall of ground beef patties linked to several E. coli O157:H7 cases in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Anyone who purchased "American Chef's Selection Angus Beef Patties" from Sam's Club (Item Number 700141) after August 25, 2007 should return the product to the nearest Sam's Club or throw it away. Additional beef products from the same producer were also recalled (see products and sell-by dates in USDA release below).
As of 10/9 the Division of Public Health has identified 4 Wisconsin residents with lab-confirmed E. coli 0157:H7 infection, a history of eating beef patties purchased at Sam's Club, and laboratory evidence [DNA fingerprinting] that their infection is due to the same strain of E. coli as the Minnesota cases. [The sickened people are from the following Wisconsin counties:
- Milwaukee County - 2 cases (possibly associated with a cook out at Marquette University)
- Outagamie County - 1 case
- Waukesha County - 1 case]
Health authorities will continue to monitor for additional cases.
E. coli is a bacteria of the intestinal tract that causes diarrhea, usually bloody, with severe abdominal cramps. Fever occurs in fewer than one-third of patients. Symptoms typically begin three to eight days following exposure. Some people may become infected but display no symptoms.
