As of now, there have been no confirmed reports of illness or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. But, the FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.

According to the USDA, symptoms of E. coli typically appear around three to four days after consumption and last for about a week. They include diarrhea (sometimes including bloody stool) and vomiting. Some illnesses can last longer and be more severe. There is also a risk of kidney failure associated with this strain of bacteria, especially for children under 5, older people or those with compromised immune systems. The complete list of products and product codes for the beef products that are subject to recall can be found here.
