The raw, ground beef items being recalled by Interstate Meat Dist. Inc. were produced on Dec. 20, 2021, and were sold by Albertsons, Kroger, Walmart and WinCo. These items were shipped to retail locations in Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

The packaging has establishment number “EST. 965” inside the USDA mark of inspection or printed next to the timestamp and use or freeze by date.

The issue was reported to the U.S. after a retail package of ground beef was purchased and submitted to a third-party laboratory for microbiological analysis and the sample tested positive for E. coli O157:H7. The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service conducted an assessment of the lab’s accreditation and methodologies and determined the results were actionable.

Then poor Albertsons, Kroger, Walmart and WinCo will be ground up by the legal system. Not to worry, though. Their lawyers can flank the FDA.

The vaccines have killed and damaged more people than this beef. Will the vaccines be recalled?

Always looking for the silver loining?

I never see such markings on the meat I buy. Maybe the butcher packs have it.

[Veggie Todd]

Stupid question: Why is it always hamburger? Why is it never t-bones or roasts?

So, about a third of a reefer load. Sell the fear.

Because the outside heat kills ecolii on steaks….in Hamburg it’s mixed inside.

All you need to do is COOK IT, and it will be fine.

[bikerman]

Don’t waste it, send it to china.

That's all well and good for Hamburg, but how is it done in Duesseldorf?

[oil_dude]

That’s a great way to create a supply chain disruption!

[V K Lee]

Right on top of emergency announcements.
That’s OUR FDA. /extreme sarcasm (apply when needed)

Their attempt to make bugs appear more appetizing on our
plates.

I was born in Dusseldorf, and that is why they call me Rolf!

[Codeflier]

These are the pre-packaged types with print and graphics all over them. Not the kind you usually get in the meat department with a tray and shrink wrap

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

All the exposure from the grinding.

[Rebelbase]

When they get a round to it.
