Beef Packers of Fresno, CA, Recalls 1,560 Pounds of Beef Product

Beef Packers, Inc., a Fresno, CA firm, is recalling approximately 1,560 pounds of beef cheek products because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.

The product being recalled is the 30-pound boxes of "CARGILL MEAT SOLUTIONS CORPORATION, BEEF CHEEK MEAT – SM BX".

These boxes of beef cheek meat products bear the establishment number "EST. 354" and a "PACKED ON" date of "07/02/08," ink-jet printed on the label, however, the product was intended for further processing or for packaging as raw beef cheek meat and will likely not bear the establishment number "EST. 354" on products available for direct consumer purchase.

These beef cheek products were shipped to distributors in Fresno, Modesto, Santa Rosa and Vernon, CA.
