Look out, Memorial Day barbecuers — 62,000 pounds of raw beef just got recalled over E. coli concerns

 

The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service advised disposing of the products or bringing them back to the store of purchase.

Beef up on food safety before the long weekend.

 

An Illinois-based meat company this week recalled more than 62,000 pounds of raw beef over E. coli concerns, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) — just days before many Memorial Day revelers sink their teeth into grilling season.

 

The Aurora Packing Company’s 62,112 pounds of potentially contaminated meat include steak cuts, brisket, chuck and ribs, according to a list of nearly four dozen recalled products posted online. Their USDA mark of inspection includes the establishment number “EST. 788,” the agency said.

 

The products in question had been “shipped nationwide for further distribution and processing,” according to the USDA agency, which advised that institutions dispose of the items or bring them back to where they purchased them. Consumers haven’t yet reported any illnesses linked to consumption of the recalled products.

 

Escherichia coli O157:H7, the foodborne pathogen identified in the recall, is a common E. coli in North America that the federal government has called “the worst type of E. coli.”

People with such an infection typically begin feeling sick three or four days after consuming the contaminated product, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and symptoms can include bloody diarrhea, vomiting and bad stomach cramps.

 

While most people recover within a week or so, some infections prove “severe or even life-threatening,” the CDC says.

 

Health risks aside, one 2005 study pegged the annual economic cost of illness, premature deaths, medical care and lost productivity due to E. coli O157 infections at $405 million.

 

The FSIS urged people to only consume meat products cooked to a 165°F internal temperature. “The only way to confirm that beef is cooked to a temperature high enough to kill harmful bacteria is to use a food thermometer that measures internal temperature,” the agency said.

Tyson will use X-ray metal detectors to screen its chicken for ‘metal fragments’

 

Have Tyson’s chicken strips jumped the shard?

 

Tyson Foods Inc.,the producer of processed meats, will recall nearly 12 million pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat chicken strip products due to metal contamination concerns, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said over the weekend. The recall was expanded from a recall of 70,000 pounds (or 35 tons) of chicken strips announced by the company in March.

 

“The frozen, ready-to-eat chicken strip items were produced on various dates from Oct. 1, 2018 through March 8, 2019 and have ‘use by dates’ of Oct. 1, 2019 through March 7, 2020,” the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said in a statement on Saturday.

It’s not an uncommon issue. CTI Foods, a privately-held company, said last December it would recall almost 30,000 pounds of Jimmy Dean sausage links after five consumers said they found metal particles. R.L. Zeigler Co. said in January it would recall 11,664 pounds of ready-to-eat poultry and meat sausage products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials — specifically metal.

 

The Tyson problem was discovered when the Food Safety and Inspection Service received two consumer complaints of “extraneous material” in the chicken-strip products. The Department of Agriculture said it’s now aware of six complaints during this time frame involving similar pieces of metal with three consumers alleging injury when they attempted to eat them.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway offering measles vaccines to Indy 500 fans

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be offering measles vaccines to fans attending the Indy 500.

A limited supply will be available outside the racetrack’s museum. They’re not free, but IndyCar medical director Geoffrey Billows said that they’re covered under most insurance policies.

Indiana had its first confirmed case of the disease for 2019 in April and made it legal to receive the vaccine without a prescription in an effort to prevent an outbreak.

 

Over 275,000 people are expected to come to the track for the event.
