There are currently no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

The raw ground beef items were produced on April 26-27 and have the USDA mark of inspection on the front label. The following products are subject to recall:

• 2.25-pounds plastic-wrapped trays containing "93% Lean 7% Fat All Natural Lean Ground Beef" with lot code 117 and establishment number "EST. 86P" printed on the back of the label.

Cargill reported the issue to FSIS after they identified that previously segregated product had been inadvertently utilized in the production of ground beef.

FSIS said it is concerned that some product may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. As such, consumers are urged not to consume affected product.
