Meating Place Recalls Beef Product Due to Possible E. Coli O157:H7 Contamination

Agency Publication Date: April 21, 2016

Summary

The Meating Place Inc. is recalling approximately 325 pounds of Lorigo Brand Beef Patties (5-lb. boxes) sold in the Buffalo, New York area. These ground beef products, produced on April 15, 2016, are being recalled because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. Consumers should immediately check their freezers for these boxes and either throw them away or return them to the store for a refund.

Risk

The beef patties may contain E. coli O157:H7, a bacterium that can cause severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, and dehydration. In some cases, particularly in young children and older adults, the infection can lead to a type of kidney failure known as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
