Products with EST number. P-579 ”inside the USDA inspection mark or on the side wall of the tray is subject to recall. These goods were shipped throughout the country.

This investigation is part of a larger effort involving FSIS, CDC, as well as government public health and agriculture partners who work together on a cluster of diseases that have affected 216 patients from 38 states and the District of Columbia.

Consuming food contaminated with salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common foodborne bacterial diseases. The most common symptoms of salmonellosis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever for 12 – 72 hours after consuming an infected product. The illness usually lasts from 4 to 7 days. Most people recover without treatment. However, in some people, diarrhea can be so severe that patients need hospitalization. Older people, babies, and people with weakened immune systems often develop serious illness.

FSIS is concerned that some contaminated products may be frozen in a refrigerator.

Consumers who have purchased these products are strongly advised not to use them. These products must be discarded or returned.

FSIS regularly reviews recall effectiveness to ensure that the recalling companies notify their customers of the recall and that steps are being taken to ensure that the product is no longer available to consumers. As far as possible, retail mailing lists will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls .

FSIS recommends that all consumers at every stage of cooking follow four recommendations for food safety:

• Cleanliness - Wash hands and surfaces frequently.
• Cutting - Separate raw meat from other foods.
• Cooking: Cook to desired temperature.
• Cooling - quickly cool the food.
