All American Meats, Inc., an Omaha, Neb. establishment, is recalling approximately 167,427 pounds of ground beef products that may be adulterated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The USDA says All American Meats is recalling the meat that was sold to retailers nationwide. The USDA did not name the retail stores affected in the recall, however, say consumers with questions can contact Mr. Shawn Buchanan at (402) 734-6901.

The ground beef items were produced on Oct. 16, 2015.

FSIS and the company are concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers' freezers.

E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps 2–8 days (3–4 days, on average) after exposure to the organism. While most people recover within a week, some develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This condition can occur among persons of any age but is most common in children under 5-years old and older adults. It is marked by easy bruising, pallor, and decreased urine output. Persons who experience these symptoms should seek emergency medical care immediately.

Consumers with questions regarding the recall can contact Mr. Shawn Buchanan at (402) 734-6901.
