E. coli Lawyer E. coli Recall Report: According to a USDA-FSIS announcement, Snapps Ferry Packing, a Tennessee firm, has voluntarily recalled approximately 102 pounds of hamburger patties and bulk ground beef that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. USDA-FSIS routine testing discovered the potential problem.
The products subject to recall are:
- 4-pound packages of "GROUND BEEF PATTIES."
- Various weight bulk packages of "GROUND BEEF."
Each product subject to recall bears the establishment number "Est. 9085" inside the USDA mark of inspection as well as a "PACKED ON" date of "DEC.11.07" or "DEC.12.07." The labels have “Packaged by Snapp Ferry” on them (see label).
The products were sold at the Snapp Ferry retail counter in Afton, Tenn., on Dec. 11 and 12, 2007, according to the USDA-FSIS announcement. Because the incubation period for E. coli is generally between 3 and 8 days, people who have eaten the recalled Snapps Ferry ground beef or hamburger patties should watch for symptoms of E. coli O157:H7 poisoning, including severe abdominal cramping, nausea and bloody diarrhea.
