Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

The USDA has issued a public health alert for 10-oz. packages of HelloFresh ground beef that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The affected ground beef was distributed in HelloFresh meal kits shipped to consumers nationwide between July 2 and July 21, 2022. While the product is no longer available for purchase, officials are concerned it may still be in consumers' freezers.

Risk

The ground beef is linked to an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7, a bacteria that can cause severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), and vomiting. While most people recover within a week, some can develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

What You Should Do

  1. Check your freezer for 10-oz. plastic vacuum-packed packages of "GROUND BEEF 85% LEAN/15% FAT" with codes "EST#46841 L1 22 155" or "EST#46841 L5 22 155" printed on the side of the packaging.
  2. Look for the USDA mark of inspection on the package to see if it contains the establishment number "EST.46841".
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer at hello@hellofresh.com or via live chat at www.hellofresh.com for further instructions.
  4. Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 if you have additional food safety questions.
