Cargill Ground Beef Recall: Link to E. coli 026 Contamination – BJ’s Wholesale Club
Cargill Meat Solutions Corporation, of Wyalusing, Pennsylvania, has issued a recall of approximately 8,500 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O26. The recall was issued following a cluster of confirmed E. coli 026 illnesses in Maine and New York.
The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) were first notified of the E. coli 026 outbreak August 5, 2010. Two E. coli 026 cases have been identified in Maine, as well as one in New York. By PFGE subtyping, the FSIS determined that there is an association between the ground beef products subject to recall and the cluster of illnesses in Maine and New York.
The ground beef products being recalled were shipped with the above label. The ground beef on this recall was produced on June 11, 2010, and shipped to distribution centers in Connecticut and Maryland for further distribution. That means that these products were repackaged into consumer-size packages and sold under different retail brand names. To date, the only retail store identified by the USDA is BJ’s Wholesale Club.
