Outbreak

United States

CDC, public health and regulatory officials in several states, and the USDA-FSIS are investigating a multistate E. coli O157:H7 outbreak linked to ground beef in HelloFresh meal kits. As of September 12, 2022, seven people have been reported from 6 states (MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA and WA). Six people have been hospitalized and none have developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a serious condition that can cause kidney failure. No deaths have been reported. Illnesses started on dates ranging from June 8, 2022, to August 17, 2022

The meal kits, which may include contaminated ground beef, were shipped to consumers from July 2 to July 21, 2022. It was packed in 10-oz. plastic vacuum-packed packages inside a variety of HelloFresh meal kits. The beef was labeled “GROUND BEEF 85% LEAN/15% FAT". Packages have “EST.46841” inside the USDA inspection mark and “EST#46841 L1 22 155” or “EST#46841 L5 22 155” on the side of the packaging.

CDC is advising people to check their freezer if they froze any of the ground beef in HelloFresh meal kits matching the description above. If you have it in your home please do not eat it, and throw it away.

In case you are experiencing E. coli symptoms such as watery diarrhea (often bloody), vomiting; stomach cramps; and mild fever, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
