The Valley Meat Company beef recall involved one million pounds of ground beef products, including frozen beef patties and bulk ground beef, that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. This recall was prompted by an outbreak of illnesses in California that the California Department of Public Health associated with consumption of Valley Meat Company products. Because much of the recalled beef is frozen, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is concerned that customers may still have the tainted beef in freezers.
About E coli Contamination
Because beef trimmings (fat and gristle trimmed from choice cuts) may be purchased from various slaughterhouses and then ground with better in-house cuts to produce the various ground beef options (85% lean, 93% lean, etc.), traceback in an E. coli outbreak associated with ground beef can be difficult. We advocate for pre-grinding testing of beef trim. Without this, an important step in E. coli O157 prevention is missing.
