Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Scanga Meat Company is recalling approximately 563 pounds of various ground beef products, including regular ground beef, X-L ground beef, hamburger chubs, and ground round trays. These products, produced on December 11, 2023, may be contaminated with E. coli O103, which was discovered during routine government testing. The affected items were sold at the company's retail store in Salida, Colorado, and shipped to various restaurants throughout the state.

Risk

The product may contain E. coli O103, a bacteria that can cause diarrhea (often bloody) and vomiting. While most people recover within a week, some individuals—especially children under 5 and older adults—can develop a severe type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have the recalled meat by checking for lot code 3345 and establishment number 'EST. 6460' inside the USDA mark of inspection on the packaging.
  2. Check your refrigerator or freezer for 6-lb. tubes of 'OUR REGULAR GROUND BEEF' or 'OUR X-L GROUND BEEF', 1-lb. chubs of 'SCANGA MEAT HAMBURGER', or 1-lb. trays of 'GROUND ROUND'.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact Scanga Meat Company at 719-539-3511 or rbscanga@scangameat.com for further instructions.
