Over 2,800 Pounds of Grass-Fed Ground Beef Recalled Across Six States ...Saudi Arabia

On Saturday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced a significant recall of raw ground beef due to potential E. coli O26 contamination. The recall focuses on Mountain West Food Group, LLC, an Idaho-based producer, after routine testing flagged the presence of the bacteria in a specific batch of meat.

To identify if your dinner is at risk, look for the following details on the packaging:

Product Name: Forward Farms Grass-Fed Ground Beef (90/10 lean ratio)Establishment Number: "Est. 2083" printed on the side of the trayDate Code: A "Use-by" or "Freeze-by" date of Jan. 13

Understanding the Risks of E. coli O26

While many of us are familiar with the common E. coli strains, O26 is a Shiga toxin-producing strain that can cause serious gastrointestinal distress. The FSIS notes that most people begin to feel symptoms anywhere from "28 days (average of 34 days) after exposure to the organism." Common symptoms of an infection include:

Severe stomach crampsDiarrhea (often bloody)VomitingLow-grade feverDehydration

The good news? "There have been no confirmed reports of illness in connection with consumption of the products" so far, according to the FSIS. However, because the beef has a relatively long shelf life and can be frozen for later use, health officials are concerned that contaminated meat may still be sitting in home freezers.

Retailers are currently working to pull the affected stock from shelves, but since the distribution span includes both the West Coast and the East Coast, shoppers across the country are encouraged to stay vigilant. If you suspect you have consumed the product and are feeling unwell, the FSIS recommends that you "contact a healthcare provider" immediately.
