Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Dean & Peeler Meatworks is recalling approximately 1,835 pounds of fresh ground beef products, including Peeler Farms Wagyu and R-C Ranch Texas Craft Meats, due to potential E. coli O157:H7 contamination. The issue was discovered after a sample tested presumptive positive during laboratory analysis. While no illnesses have been confirmed, this specific strain of bacteria can cause severe health issues including bloody diarrhea and kidney failure. The products were primarily shipped to restaurant locations in the San Antonio, Texas, area.

Risk

The beef may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, a bacterium that can cause dehydration, abdominal cramps, and bloody diarrhea within 2 to 8 days of exposure. In some cases, especially among children under 5 and older adults, the infection can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious type of kidney failure marked by easy bruising and decreased urine output.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator or freezer for Peeler Farms Wagyu Ground Beef in 1-lb., 5-lb., or 10-lb. bags with lot code 17836 and establishment number EST. 51283.
  2. Check for R-C Ranch Texas Craft Meats Wagyu Steakhouse Blend (5 lb) or Ground Beef Patties (8 oz) with lot code 17816 and establishment number EST. 51283.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
  4. If you are a restaurant operator, do not serve these products; they should be discarded or returned immediately.
  5. Ensure all ground beef is cooked to an internal temperature of 160 F as measured by a food thermometer to kill harmful bacteria.
