Hawaii Beef Producers, LLC is alerting the public about several types of Hawaii Big Island Beef brand ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The affected items include 1-lb, 2-lb, 10-lb, and 40-lb packages produced on August 8, 2022. While these products are no longer available for purchase in stores, they may still be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. Consumers are urged to check their beef and either return it for a refund or throw it away.
The beef may contain E. coli O157:H7, a potentially deadly bacterium that causes dehydration, abdominal cramps, and bloody diarrhea. While most people recover in a week, some—especially children under 5 and older adults—can develop a serious kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
