The recall was initiated as part of an investigation by the USDA and the Minnesota Departments of Agriculture and Health (MDA). The investigation began when multiple people reported illnesses after consuming ground beef. Investigators determined there was a link between the ground beef products and the people in the illness cluster. The MDA says 15 people have become ill after eating the beef. E. coli symptoms to look out for include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea, and vomiting.

The recall involves fresh and frozen ground beef products distributed to restaurants nationwide. The fresh products feature a “use by” date of 11/14/2024 while the frozen products are marked with a production date of 10/22/24. The FDA urges restaurants not to serve these products and throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. The USDA has listed the full product details and labels on its website.
