Silver Springs Farms, Inc. is recalling approximately 216,000 pounds of various beef products, including ground beef, patties, burgers, and sandwich steaks. The recall was initiated after routine testing discovered the potential presence of E. coli O157:H7, a harmful bacterium. The affected items were produced between August 19 and September 9, 2016, and were shipped to retail and institutional locations across the country. Consumers should return these products for a refund or dispose of them immediately.
E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that causes dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. While most people recover in a week, some—especially children under 5 and older adults—can develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious type of kidney failure.
