The problem was discovered on November 15, 2018, when FSIS visited Swift Beef Company in response to an FSIS ground beef sample that was collected at a further processing establishment and was confirmed positive for E. coli O157:H7. FSIS confirmed that Swift Beef Company was the sole source supplier for the ground beef products. That affected product was recalled on Nov. 16. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. It’s the second-largest recall since October for Swiss Beef parent company JBS Tolleson, which recalled 6.6 million pounds of ground beef due to Salmonella in October. @ https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/recalls-and-public-health-alerts/recall-case-archive/archive/2018/recall-114-2018-release
