This Class I recall began on June 24th with 41,000 pounds of beef product, and was expanded on June 28th to include an additional 380,000 pounds.
A Class I alert is defined as “a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.”
The reason for this specific recall was concern that possible E. coli O157:H7 contamination had occurred at the JBS Swift Company plant.
All of the meat covered in the recall was wholesale cuts, meaning that it had been trimmed, cut, ground and repackaged by a retailer.
