Greater Omaha Packing is recalling approximately 295,236 pounds of raw beef products produced on July 13, 2021, because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The problem was discovered during routine FSIS product sampling that tested positive for the bacteria. While no illnesses have been confirmed, this recall includes dozens of specific beef cuts and trim items distributed to further processors in Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and Nebraska.
E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that causes dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. In severe cases, particularly in children under 5 and older adults, it can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a type of kidney failure characterized by easy bruising and decreased urine output.
You have 2 options:
Includes various cuts such as BNLS SHANK, BONELESS CHUCK, SIRLOIN ROUND KNUCKLE, CHUCK CLOD, BOTTOM ROUND, and various TRIM grades (50, 65, 75, 85 TRIM).
