Ground Beef Sold at Walmart & Other Stores Recalled

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that Lakeside Refrigerated Services is recalling roughly 120,872 pounds of ground beef products that could be contaminated with E. coli O103. Currently, there have been reports of illness as a result of the recalled products.

The ground beef items were produced from Feb. 1, 2022, through Apr. 8, 2022 and amount to about 40 unique products. You can view the entire list of recalled product names and codes here and the labels here. (And you can check out our coverage of other recent recalls here.)

Some of the recalled brands include Thomas Farms, Nature’s Reserve, Tajima, Marketside Butcher, Weis and Seg. The affected products include beef bricks, patties, ground Wagyu and various sizes of chubs (the actual term).

If you’re unsure if your ground beef products have been recalled, you can check the establishment number, which is found inside the USDA mark of inspection and shows “EST. 46841.” The recalled products were shipped to retail locations nationwide and include stores like Walmart and Target.

The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) wants to ensure that consumers do not have the recalled products stored in refrigerators or freezers. Those infected with STEC O103 (Shiga toxin-inducing e.Coli) can develop vomiting and diarrhea, and infections are common in children under five years old and older adults.

If you do find a recalled product in your home, do not eat it. You can throw it away or return it to the place of purchase for a refund. If you have questions, you can contact Lakeside Refrigerated Services directly at 800-493-9042 and customercare@lakesiderefrigerated.com.

Earlier this year, a similar ground beef recall affected products at Walmart in addition to Kroger and Albertsons. If you want to stay up-to-date on food recalls, you can check the FSIS website.
