WASHINGTON – Portland, Ore.-based Morasch Meats Inc. said on Dec. 22 that it recalled approximately 3,930 lbs of frozen diced beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
FSIS discovered the problem during a review of testing results, which showed the product tested positive for E. coli O157:H7.
The raw frozen diced beef items were produced on Aug. 24, 2022.
The following products are subject to recall:
- 30-lb. box packages containing “BEEF DICED 3/10# BAGS,” with case code FM010152, LOT#: 082422 and a date of 8/24/2022 on the case label. Each case contains three 10 lb. vacuum-sealed, clear plastic bags of the diced beef products.
The products subject to recall bear the establishment number “EST. 4102” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to distributor locations in Oregon for further distribution to restaurants and other institutional users.
FSIS is concerned that some products may be in institutional or restaurant freezers. Restaurants and institutions are urged not to serve these products.
