CS Beef Packers, LLC is recalling approximately 22,912 pounds of raw ground beef products, including the Fire River Farms Classic brand, because they may be contaminated with E. coli O145. The problem was discovered during testing by a customer, and while no illnesses have been reported, this strain of bacteria can cause severe illness. The recalled meat was produced on January 14, 2026, and shipped to distributors in California, Idaho, and Oregon for further delivery to foodservice locations.
The beef may contain E. coli O145, which can cause bloody diarrhea, vomiting, and in rare cases, a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Most people recover within a week, but children under 5 and older adults are at higher risk for severe complications.
