Greeley Beef Company Expands Recall

E. Coli Found In Beef

A Greeley beef company is voluntarily expanding its beef recall to include about 380,000 pounds of products because of possible E. coli contamination.

Earlier this week, the company recalled 41,000 pounds of beef that was exposed to E. coli.

JBS Swift Beef Company is adding primal cuts products to the recall.

Each box bears the establishment number "EST. 969" inside the USDA mark of inspection as well as the identifying package date of "042109" and a time stamp ranging from "0618" to "1130."

However, these products were sent to establishments and retail stores nationwide for further processing and will likely not bear the establishment number "EST. 969" on products available for direct consumer purchase. Customers with concerns should contact their point of purchase.

The recalled products include intact cuts of beef, such as primals, sub-primals, or boxed beef typically used for steaks and roasts rather than ground beef.

The highest risk products for consumers are raw ground product, trim or other non-intact product made from the products subject to the recall.

The USDA said an investigation by its Food Safety and Inspection Service of 24 illnesses in multiple states prompted the company to re-examine its food safety system. The department said 18 of the illnesses appear to have the same cause, and the company is conducting the recall "out of an abundance of caution."
