A wide-spread, nationwide voluntary recall has been issued for pre-packaged ground beef processed through Lakeside Refrigerated Services.  Stores in Minnesota and Wisconsin are included in the recall details.  The concern is the potential for E. coli contamination.

According to details shared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), 120,872 pounds of ground beef product are included in the current recall efforts.  That meat was processed by Lakeside Refrigerated Services from February 1, 2022 through April 8, 2022.  The ground beef was packaged and sold under a variety of different brand names and labels.

Each of the products contain the establishment number "EST. 46841" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The beef was sold as both bulk ground product as well as already pattied burgers.

The potential for E. coli contamination was discovered by a routine FSIS inspection and testing of imported products. As of right now, there have been no reported cases of anyone becoming sick from the ground beef meat products.  However, the recall has been issued as a cautionary measure.
