Summary

Grassland Beef (doing business as US Wellness Meats) is recalling 2-pound packages of Dr. Siegel's S. A. F. E. Petfood raw Ground Beef in both 70% and 85% lean varieties. The recall was issued because an ingredient in the pet food tested positive for E. coli O157:H7, a pathogen that can cause serious illness in pets and humans. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date. The products were sold directly to consumers across the country and through one retail store in Florida.

Risk

E. coli O157:H7 can cause severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting in pets, and poses a cross-contamination risk to humans who handle the raw food. Handling the meat or coming into contact with pets that have eaten it can spread the bacteria to people.
