Swift Beef recalls ground beef products due to possible E.coli contamination

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said that the bulk ground beef was produced on Oct. 24, 2018.

These items were shipped to retail distributors for further processing and food service distributors for institutional use in locations in California, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.

The problem was discovered on November 15, 2018, when FSIS visited Swift Beef Company in response to a FSIS ground beef sample that was collected at a further processing establishment and was confirmed positive for E. coli O157:H7. FSIS confirmed that Swift Beef Company was the sole source supplier for the ground beef products.

FSIS announced that there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
