Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Art’s Food Market is alerting consumers to raw ground beef products produced by Greater Omaha Packing Co. Inc. that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The affected items consist of approximately 2-lb trays of raw ground beef sold at a single retail location in Sandwich, Illinois, with specific packaging dates in late January 2021. While the product is no longer available for purchase, officials are concerned that consumers may still have these items in their refrigerators or freezers. If you have this beef, do not eat it; you should return it to the store for a refund or throw it away.

Risk

E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that causes dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. In some cases, especially in young children and older adults, it can lead to a serious type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator and freezer for approximately 2-lb trays of raw ground beef with a retail label from Art's Food Market showing 'PACKED' dates between JAN 28 2021 and JAN 31 2021.
  2. Return the product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact Greater Omaha Packing Co. Inc. at abesta@greateromahs.com for further instructions.
  3. If you have already consumed this product and are experiencing symptoms like severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, or easy bruising, seek medical care immediately.
  4. Always cook raw ground beef to an internal temperature of 160°F as measured by a food thermometer to kill harmful bacteria.
  5. Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 if you have additional food safety questions.
