The FSIS is issuing a public health alert for ground beef sold at La Michoacana Meat Market located at 5106 Wesley St., Greenville, Texas, 75402, after a sample of the product tested positive for the presence of Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7. A recall was not requested because there is no product currently available for sale to consumers; however, the ground beef product may remain in consumers’ homes and could cause illness if eaten. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
The affected product is:
- Varying weights of ground beef packed in butcher paper, containing “CARNE MOLIDA REGULAR/GROUND BEEF” with “Packed On” dates ranging Nov. 28 to Dec. 1, 2022, and “Sell By Dec. 1 2022” on the label.
This product was ground in store on Nov. 28, 2022 and it was packaged for consumers behind the meat counter in varying weights. The last date that the product was available for sale was Dec. 1, 2022.
The problem was discovered during routine FSIS product testing when a sample confirmed positive for the presence of E. coli O157:H7.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
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.
