These products have the establishment number “EST. 7914” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The beef was shipped to food service locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee.

Creation Gardens discovered the problem Monday when plant management inspectors notified the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of two positive E. coli test results.

Escherichia coli (abbreviated as E. coli) are bacteria found in the environment, foods, and intestines of people and animals, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Although most strains are harmless, others can make you sick. Some kinds of E. coli can cause diarrhea, while others cause urinary tract infections (UTIs), respiratory illness and pneumonia.

If you purchased any of the above items you should discard them immediately or return them to the place of purchase for a refund. To date, no E. coli infections have been linked to the recall.
