The FSIS just announced a recall of 22,912 pounds of raw ground beef products from CS Beef Packers, LLC, due to possible contamination with E. coli O145. The issue was discovered during FSIS testing at a downstream customer, where E. coli was detected in the ground beef. The affected products were shipped to distributors in three states—California, Idaho, and Oregon—and were intended for foodservice distribution. In other words, it's unlikely to be in your home fridge, but it may be in restaurants, hotels, or other commercial kitchen freezers.
The recalled products bear the establishment number "EST. 630" and include:
- 10-lb. chubs of "Beef, Coarse Ground, 73 L" packed in cardboard cases with case code 18601, Use/Freeze By 2/4/2026, and time stamps between 7:03 and 8:32.
- 10-lb. chubs of "Fire River Farms Classic Beef Fine Ground 73L" packed in cardboard cases with case code 19583, Use/Freeze By 2/4/2026, and time stamps between 7:03 and 8:32.
- Four 10-lb. chubs of "Fire River Farms Classic Beef Fine Ground 81L" packed in cardboard cases with case code 19563, Use/Freeze By 2/4/2026, and time stamps between 7:03 and 8:32.
All affected products were produced on January 14, 2026, and there's concern they may still be in foodservice freezers.
