Creation Gardens Beef Products Recalled for Possible E. coli Contamination

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Creation Gardens, Inc. is recalling approximately 22,832 pounds of various raw ground beef and beef primal cut products produced between May 31 and June 2, 2017. The recall was initiated after the company's internal testing found two positive results for E. coli O157:H7. These products were shipped to food service locations such as restaurants and institutions in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee.

Risk

The beef may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, a potentially deadly bacterium that causes dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. In some cases, particularly in children under 5 and older adults, it can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious type of kidney failure.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your inventory for beef products with 'EST. 7914' inside the USDA mark of inspection and the specific product codes listed below.
  2. Identify affected products by looking for product codes such as 00297, 00263, 11062, 97675, 00239, 00291, 97673, 32100, 79684, 00274, 00496, 02374, 00249, 00248, 00300, 00286, 02309, 77749, 99943, 05471, 00258, 00261, 00232, 00240, or 00299.
