The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has announced the recall of 22,912 pounds of raw ground beef products from CS Beef Packers of Kuna that may be contaminated with E. coli.

The problem was discovered during routine testing at a downstream customer, with sampling results showing the presence of E. coli O145. There have been no confirmed reports of illness due to consumption of these products, USDA said.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service is concerned that some of these products may be in food service freezers and is urging food service locations not to serve these products. The agency recommends returning them to the place of purchase or disposing of them.

Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.

The raw ground beef items were produced on Jan. 14, 2026. The following products are subject to recall:

Cardboard cases containing eight 10-pound chubs of “BEEF, COARSE GROUND, 73 L” with case code 18601, “Use/Freeze By: 02/04/26” and time stamps between 7:03 a.m. and 8:32 a.m. printed on two stickers placed on the outside of the case.

Cardboard cases containing four 10-pound chubs of “FIRE RIVER FARMS CLASSIC BEEF FINE GROUND 73L” with case code 19583, “Use/Freeze By: 02/04/26” and time stamps between 7:03 a.m. and 8:32 a.m. printed on two stickers placed on the outside of the case.

Cardboard cases containing four 10-pound chubs of “FIRE RIVER FARMS CLASSIC BEEF FINE GROUND 81L” with case code 19563, “Use/Freeze By: 02/04/26” and time stamps between 7:03 a.m. and 8:32 a.m. printed on two stickers placed on the outside of the case.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 630” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the outside of the case and printed directly onto the clear packaging of the chub.

The affected items were shipped to distributors in California, Idaho and Oregon for further distribution to food service locations.

E. coli O145, like the more common E. coli O157:H7, is a serovar of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli. People can become ill from E. coli in two to eight days, averaging three to four days, after exposure to the organism.

Most people infected with E. coli O145 develop diarrhea that is often bloody, along with vomiting. Some illnesses last longer and can be more severe. Infection is usually diagnosed by testing a stool sample.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service recommends vigorous rehydration and other supportive care as the usual treatment. Antibiotic treatment is generally not recommended.

Most individuals recover within a week, but in some rare instances, a more severe infection can develop. A type of kidney failure known as hemolytic uremic syndrome, or HUS, is uncommon with E. coli O145 infection but possible.

HUS can occur in people of any age but is most common in children younger than 5, older adults and people with weakened immune systems. It is marked by easy bruising, pallor and decreased urine output.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service recommends anyone experiencing these symptoms to seek emergency medical care immediately.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling firms notify their customers and that steps are taken to ensure the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, retail distribution lists will be posted at fsis.usda.gov/recalls.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service advises consumers to safely prepare raw meat products, including fresh and frozen, and only consume ground beef cooked to a temperature of 160 degrees.

The agency recommends using a food thermometer to measure internal temperature. More information can be found at fsis.usda.gov/safetempchart.
