JBS Swift Beef Recall

By PritzkerLaw

Beef Recall Alert: JSB Swift Beef Company, a Colorado firm, has recalled about 380,000 pounds of beef products due to possible contamination with E. coli O157:H7.  The recall was prompted by an outbreak that has sickened at least 18 people nationwide.  The recall is an expansion of a June 24 JBS Swift Beef recall of 41,280 pounds of beef products that were distributed to Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin.

The recalled JBS Swift Beef products were produced on April 21, 2009 and were distributed both nationally and internationally to "establishments" and retail customers who then further processed the beef.  Some of the recalled beef was ground into hamburger.

Because the recalled beef was further processed, the only way you can know if you consumed any of the recalled beef is to contact all stores and eating establishments where you purchased a beef product.  Read "Are You Part of an E. coli Outbreak?"
