Snapp's Ferry Packing Company is recalling approximately 410 pounds of ground beef due to potential contamination with E. coli O157:H7. The product was sold in 5-lb. packages and produced on November 20, 2015. The recall was initiated after a positive test result was linked to an ongoing investigation into illnesses in Tennessee. This beef was distributed to restaurants in the Knoxville area and was not sold at retail stores. Consumers should not consume this product and should return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
E. coli O157:H7 is a dangerous bacterium that can cause severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, and dehydration. In some cases, especially in young children and older adults, it can lead to a serious type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
Return the product for a full refund.
