Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Cargill Meat Solutions is recalling approximately 16,243 pounds of various raw ground beef products, including lean ground beef, prime rib beef steak burgers, and ground beef chuck, because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The problem was discovered after the company realized that meat previously set aside for safety reasons was accidentally used to produce these ground beef items. The affected products were sold at Walmart retail locations nationwide and were produced on April 26 and 27, 2024.

Risk

The beef may contain E. coli O157:H7, a bacterium that causes dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and severe abdominal cramps. In some cases, particularly in children under 5 and older adults, the infection can lead to a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator and freezer for the following products: 93% Lean 7% Fat Ground Beef (2.25-lbs), Prime Rib Beef Steak Burgers (1.33-lbs/4 patties), 85% Lean 15% Fat Angus Premium Ground Beef (2.25-lbs), 80% Lean 20% Fat Ground Beef Chuck (2.25-lbs), 80% Lean 20% Fat Ground Beef Chuck Patties (1.33-lbs/4 patties), and 90% Lean 10% Fat Ground Beef Sirloin Patties (1.33-lbs/4 patties).
  2. Look for lot codes 117 or 118 and establishment number 'EST. 86P' printed on the back of the product label to confirm if your item is part of the recall.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
