The USDA/FSIS reported that Lakeside Refrigerated Services (Swedesboro, N.J.) recalls approximately 120,872 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O103. The ground beef products were produced from February 1, 2022, through April 8, 2022. The recalled products bear the establishment number “EST. 46841” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide. The problem was discovered during routine FSIS testing of imported products. There have been no confirmed reports of illness or adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products. Many clinical laboratories do not test for non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) such as O103 because it is harder to identify than STEC O157:H7. People can become ill from STECs 2–8 days (an average of 3–4 days) after consuming the organism.@ https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/lakeside-refrigerated-services-recalls-ground-beef-products-due-possible-e-coli-o103
