Beef and Veal Recall

Approximately 2,349 pounds of beef and veal products are subject to recall due to possible contamination of E. coli.

The beef and veal recall, from National Meat and Provisions, a Reserve, La. establishment, is categorized by the the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) as a Class I recall, meaning “this is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death”.

What are the symptoms of E. coli food poisoning?

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) symptoms of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) infection include severe abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting. The diarrhea may become bloody and can lead to dehydration. There is usually little or no fever. The infection (and its symptoms) will vary from individual to individual, ranging from a mild to a life-threatening illness.

The CDC reports that symptoms of E. coli food poisoning typically begin 3-4 days after eating a contaminated food; however, symptoms may occur anywhere from 1 to 10 days following pathogen exposure.
