Summary

Washington Beef, LLC is recalling 1,620 pounds of frozen boneless beef trim, specifically 60 lb. bulk packs of 'TRIM 65/35 (FZN)' produced on November 28, 2012. The product is being recalled because it may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The meat was shipped to a single grinding facility and then distributed for use in hotels, restaurants, and institutions in Oregon and Washington.

Risk

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

What You Should Do

  1. Check any bulk beef trim inventory for 60 lb. bulk packs of 'TRIM 65/35 (FZN)' produced on November 28, 2012.
  2. Verify the packaging for the establishment number 'EST. 235' inside the USDA mark of inspection.
  3. Institutions and restaurants should ensure this product is no longer available to be used or served.
  4. Follow safe handling practices by washing hands for 20 seconds before and after handling raw meat and ensuring all ground beef is cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F using a food thermometer.
