Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ranchers Legacy Meat Co. is recalling approximately 1,200 pounds of ground beef and patty products, including varieties like Ground Chuck, Chuck/Brisket blends, and USDA Choice patties. These products were produced on November 19, 2014, and shipped to distributors nationwide in plastic cryovac sealed packets. The recall was initiated after FSIS testing found E. coli O157:H7 contamination in products made on the same day and equipment.

Risk

The beef may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, a bacterium that can cause severe abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea, and dehydration. In some cases, particularly in children under 5 and older adults, it can lead to a serious type of kidney failure known as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator or freezer for ground beef products with the 'Use By' date 12/10/2014 and establishment number 'Est. 40264' inside the USDA mark of inspection.
  2. If you possess any of the recalled products, do not consume them; instead, discard the product or return it to the place of purchase.
  3. Thoroughly wash hands, cutting boards, and utensils with hot, soapy water after any contact with raw meat to prevent cross-contamination.
  4. Always cook ground beef to an internal temperature of 160°F as measured by a food thermometer to ensure harmful bacteria are killed.
  5. For specific questions about the recall, contact Jeremy Turnquist, Vice President of Operations for Ranchers Legacy Meat Co., at (651) 366-6575.
  6. For general food safety questions, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
