Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lakeside Refrigerated Services is recalling approximately 42,922 pounds of ground beef products, including Marketside Butcher and Thomas Farms brands, because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The affected raw ground beef items were produced on June 1, 2020, and were shipped to retail locations across the country. Consumers should check their refrigerators and freezers for these specific vacuum and tray packages, as the products were sold in various lean/fat percentages and weights. If you have these products, you should return them to the store for a refund or throw them away.

Risk

The beef may contain E. coli O157:H7, a bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and severe abdominal cramps. In some cases, particularly in children under 5 and older adults, the infection can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a type of kidney failure characterized by bruising, pallor, and decreased urine output.
