Adams Farm Slaughterhouse is recalling approximately 43,496 pounds of various beef, veal, and bison products due to possible E. coli O157:H7 contamination. The recalled items include a wide variety of cuts such as steaks, roasts, ground meat, and whole carcasses processed between July 21 and September 22, 2016. There have been 7 reported illnesses linked to this contamination, with patients becoming sick between late June and early September. Consumers should check their freezers for these products, which were sold at farmers markets, retail stores, and restaurants in several Northeastern states.
The meat may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, a bacteria that can cause severe stomach cramps, dehydration, and bloody diarrhea. In some cases, especially in young children and older adults, the infection can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a potentially life-threatening type of kidney failure.
