Colorado Firm Recalls Beef Products Due To Possible E. coli Contamination


JBS Swift Beef Company is recalling approximately 41,280 pounds of beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. For a detailed list products see the link below.

The beef products were produced on April 21 and 22, 2009, and were shipped to distributors and retail establishments in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin.

The problem was discovered through FSIS microbiological sampling and an investigation into the distribution of other products.

E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and in the most severe cases, kidney failure. The very young, seniors and persons with weak immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness.

My healthy 79 year old parents have suffered diarrhea, inability to smell or taste, severe weakness, low renal function, and stroke-like symptoms involving speech. We didn't know it was e Coli until the notification came from Costco last week about the meat.
