# Sliver Springs E. coli Recall Expands.

 

 

  Silver Springs Farms, Inc., a Harleysville, Pa. establishment is recalling approximately 7,970 pounds of ground beef and burger products, as well as an undetermined amount of sandwich steak products that may be adulterated with *E. coli* O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The ground beef items were produced on August 19 and 20, 2016. The exact production dates for the various sandwich steak products are unknown at this time, but are believed to have been produced between August 19 and September 19, 2016. The following products are subject to recall: \[[View Labels](http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/wcm/connect/1f1541b9-d9da-4d47-9e1a-7d3ee76883bb/091-2016-exp-labels.pdf?MOD=AJPERES) (PDF only)\]

- 20-lb. cases containing 4 packages of 5-lb ground beef 80/20.
- 10-lb. packages of “Camellia Beef Pattie 80/20,” with package codes 6235 and 6242.
- 10-lb. packages of “Silver Springs Farm Beef Pattie 80/20,” with package codes 6242 and 6237.
- 10-lb. packages of “Silver Springs Farm Beef Pattie 80/20 Flat,” with package code 6237.
- 10-lb. packages of “Silver Springs Farm Gourmet Beef Burger Flat,” with package code 6235.
- 10-lb. packages of “Silver Springs Farm Gourmet Beef Burger 80/20,” with package code 6237.
- 10-lb. packages of “Silver Springs Farm Gourmet Beef Pattie 80/20,” with package code 6242.
- various sandwich steak products produced by the recalling firm.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 4771” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to a distributor in Virginia and institutional food establishments in New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland.

The problem was discovered during a routine verification sampling performed by Silver Springs Farms, Inc. There have been no confirmed reports of illness or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

*E. coli* O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps 2–8 days (3–4 days, on average) after exposure the organism. While most people recover within a week, some develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This condition can occur among persons of any age but is most common in children under 5-years old and older adults. It is marked by easy bruising, pallor, and decreased urine output. Persons who experience these symptoms should seek emergency medical care immediately.

FSIS and the company are concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers’ freezers.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.
