Each shipment box has the phrase EST. # 934 on the product label. The company believes the shipments reached centers in Arizona California and Nebraska.
Commentary
This recall marks the second large recall of beef for E. coli risk. Readers are reminded to only consume beef that has been cooked at a temperature of at least 160 degrees which is really only safely accomplished by using a thermometer. Food injuries are a delicate area of personal injury law as many injuries from contaminated food may not bring enough damages to warrant a claim against the manufacturer. Litigation and court costs can often outweigh a civil claim. On the other hand the recent Listeria outbreak from cantaloupes has produced extensive injuries even death which are certainly actionable. At any rate readers should be mindful of these recalls and in this case only consume properly cooked beef.
