Tyson Fresh Meats is recalling approximately 16,000 pounds of 80% Lean Ground Beef chubs due to potential E. coli O157:H7 contamination discovered during routine sampling. The recalled beef was produced on May 16, 2015, and was shipped to a distribution location in New York. No illnesses have been reported, but consumers are urged to check their refrigerators and freezers for these products, which are sold in 5 lb. packages. Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The beef may contain E. coli O157:H7, a potentially deadly bacterium that causes dehydration, severe abdominal cramps, and bloody diarrhea. While most people recover within a week, some—especially young children and older adults—can develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious type of kidney failure marked by easy bruising and decreased urine output.
Return the product for a full refund.
