Earlier in the week, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the voluntary recall of beef produced in Michigan and shipped to 15 states. When E. coli O157:H7 contamination was suspected, Davis Creek Meats and Seafood of Kalamazoo initiated the recall.
At the end of April, two confirmed cases of E. coli food poisoning reached the Michigan Department of Community Health. An investigation of the cases led to Davis Creek and beef that had been produced by the company between March 1 and April 30.
The beef products include mechanically tenderized steaks and ground beef. Labels on product boxes have the establishment number “Est. 1947A “
