On May 13, 2009, FSIS was informed by the Ohio Department of Health of a cluster of E. coli O157:H7 infections. To date, illnesses have been reported in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Illinois.

The recalled ground beef products were produced on March 10, 2009 and distributed nationwide. Each recalled product bears the establishment number "EST. 5712" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The (2-1), (3-1), (4-1), (5-1) and (6-1) markings refer to the number of portions per pound. A full list of recalled products is available at the USDA website, and through the link below.
