JBS USA recalls more ground beef that may be contaminated

JBS USA subsidiary Swift Beef recalls almost 100,000 pounds of ground beef products.
November 19, 2018

JBS USA subsidiary Swift Beef is recalling nearly 100,000 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the second recall for JBS in two months.

The bulk ground beef produced Oct. 24 at the Swift facility in Hyrum, Utah, was shipped to retail distributors for further processing and food service distributors for institutional use in California, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.

JBS USA, the North American arm of Brazilian-based JBS S.A., recalled more than 6.5 million pounds of raw beef products in October for possible Salmonella contamination.

The following products are subject to the latest recall:

  • 2,000 lb. bulk pallets of Swift Ground Beef 81/19 (81% lean) Fine Grind Combo bearing product code 42982
  • 8-10 lb. plastic-wrapped chubs of “blue ribbon BEEF” Ground Beef 81/19 (81% lean) Coarse Grind bearing product code 42410
  • 8-10 lb. plastic-wrapped chubs of “blue ribbon BEEF” Ground Beef 93/07 (93% lean) Coarse Grind bearing product code 42413
  • 8-10 lb. plastic-wrapped chubs of “blue ribbon BEEF” Ground Beef 85/15 (85% lean) Coarse Grind bearing product code 42415
  • 8-10 lb. plastic-wrapped chubs of “blue ribbon BEEF” Ground Beef 73/27 (73% lean) Coarse Grind bearing product code 42510

The products have the number “EST. 628” inside the USDA inspection mark.

FSIS visited Swift Beef after a test came back positive for E. coli O157:H7 at Majestic Meat Co. in Salt Lake City. Swift supplied the beef, and Majestic recalled about 500 pounds of bulk ground beef, ground beef patties and meatballs. There have been no confirmed reports of illness.

For more information, consumers may call the JBS USA consumer hotline at 800-727-2333.
