A public health alert was issued in partnership with the USDA out of an abundance of caution. The focus of this alert is for specific packages of ground beef delivered between July 2-21, 2022. Certain ground beef provided by supplier, Lakeside Refrigerated Services , may be associated with Escherichia coli (E.Coli) 0157:H7 illness. A recall was not requested by the USDA because the affected products have been removed from market distribution.

To identify whether you have been impacted, check your freezer for 10-oz. plastic vacuum-packed packages containing “GROUND BEEF 85% LEAN/15% FAT” with codes “EST#46841 L1 22 155” or “EST#46841 L5 22 155” on the side of the packaging. In addition, the ground beef package has EST.46841” inside the USDA mark of inspection. Please see the photo provided below as reference for locating the product code.

If you have any impacted packages of ground beef, please discard immediately. In the event that the impacted ground beef has been consumed, please note that thoroughly cooking the product to a temperature of 160ºF will kill the harmful bacteria.
