Frank’s Butcher Shop Ground Beef Alert For Possible E. coli Contamination
USDA issues public health alert over E. coli found in ground beef
According to Food Safety and Inspection Service:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert due to concerns that a specific ground beef product may be contaminated with E. coli O103.
The raw ground beef items were produced on October 4, 2022. The following product is subject to the public health alert view labels:
- 1-lb. plastic vacuum-packed packages containing “FRANK’S BUTCHER SHOP GROUND BEEF” with “PACKED ON” dates of 10–07–2022 and 10–09–2022 on the label.
The establishment’s retail store location in Hudson, Wyoming sold the affected product directly to consumers. FBS Hudson is actively attempting to contact consumers who may have purchased 14 packages of the ground beef product subject to the public health alert.
The problem was discovered when FBS Hudson alerted FSIS that its routine microbial testing results found Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) O103 in a sample of ground beef. There have been no confirmed reports of illness due to the consumption of these products.
