A public health alert has been issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service for ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli bacteria.
Raw ground beef produced by Greater Omaha Packing Co., Inc. on March 28, 2024, is no longer available for purchase so “a recall was not requested.” Still, the government agency issued an alert last week to warn consumers and food service institutions who may have the product in their freezers.
“Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and food service institutions are urged not to serve these products,” the USDA alert stated. “These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.”
The beef products have a “Use/Freeze by” date of April 22, 2024, and a packaging date of “032824.”
