Kelly McCarthyThe U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection ServiceWednesday that the Detroit-based Wolverine Packing Co. had recalled approximately 167,277 pounds of ground beef products -- both fresh and frozen -- that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.
"On November 20, 2024, a ground beef sample collected by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture as part of an outbreak investigation tested positive for E. coli O157," the agency stated. "To date, 15 case-patients have been identified in one state with illness onset dates ranging from November 2, 2024, to November 10, 2024."
The FSIS has urged restaurants not to serve these products and highlighted a concern "that some product may be in restaurant refrigerators or freezers." "Most strains of E. coli are harmless and live in the intestines of healthy humans and animals. However, the O157 strain produces a powerful toxin that can cause severe illness," the department states. "Symptoms of E. coli O157 infection include severe diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Most people infected with E. coli O157 do not have a fever or vomiting."
