Feds find contaminated beef patties during routine inspectionsA Puerto Rico firm is recalling about 430 pounds of frozen beef trim that may be contaminated with E. coli 0157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said. The recall includes 60-pound bulk boxes of “BM-95 BONELESS BEEF.” Each shipping container bears the establishment number “Nicaragua 4.” The shipping label bears the item number “00003,” and pack date of “8-19-08.” The frozen beef trim products were produced on Aug. 19, 2008, and were exported to the United States and then sent to distributors and establishments in Puerto Rico. They were then sent on to other establishments for further processing and contaminated consumer products likely not bear the "Nicaragua 4" notation. The contamination was discovered through FSIS microbiological sampling of imported products. There are so far no reports of illness. E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and in the most severe cases, kidney failure. The very young, seniors and persons with weak immune systems are the most susceptible.
