Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Win Opportunity Knocks, doing business as Ottomanelli Wholesale Meats Inc., is recalling approximately 6,020 pounds of fresh and frozen raw ground beef products, including specialty brands like Packers Plus, Debren Foods, and Nu Vista Foods. These products may be contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) O45, O103, and O145, which were discovered during routine establishment testing. The affected beef was produced between June 18, 2018, and July 11, 2018, and distributed for institutional use. Approximately 1,908 pounds of the product have been recovered to date.

Risk

Consumption of meat contaminated with STEC can cause diarrhea (often bloody) and vomiting within 2 to 8 days. While most people recover within a week, some—especially children under 5 and older adults—may develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious type of kidney failure marked by easy bruising and decreased urine output.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your inventory for frozen raw beef patties from brands including Packers Plus, Debren Foods Inc., Nu Vista Foods Group Inc., and Ottomanelli Wholesale Meats Inc. with 'Approved' dates between JUN 18 2018 and JUL 11 2018.
  2. Verify the establishment number 'EST. 11167' inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product packaging.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer or supplier for further instructions.
