CS Beef Packers LLC Recalls Ground Beef Over E. coli O145 Risk

CS Beef Packers LLC of Kuna, Idaho, is recalling 22,912 pounds of raw ground beef after possible contamination with E. coli O145, according to the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The products were produced Jan. 14 and include 10-pound chubs labeled “BEEF, COARSE GROUND, 73 L,” “FIRE RIVER FARMS CLASSIC BEEF FINE GROUND 73L,” and “FIRE RIVER FARMS CLASSIC BEEF FINE GROUND 81L,” all marked with “Use/Freeze By: 02/04/26” and establishment number “EST. 630.”

The items were distributed to distributors in California, Idaho and Oregon for foodservice use. The issue was identified through FSIS testing at a downstream facility. No illnesses have been confirmed.

E. coli infections can cause severe stomach cramps, diarrhea and fever. In rare cases, patients may develop hemolytic uremic syndrome, a serious kidney complication requiring urgent medical treatment.
