Although most people tend to recover within a week some develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). HUS is a type of kidney failure that generally affects older adults and children under 5 years of age.
HUS is usually recognized by decreased urine output, pallor and easy bruising. The FSIS says that Persons who experience these symptoms should seek emergency medical care immediately.
The USDA recommends that all consumers safely prepare their raw meat products, including fresh and frozen, and only consume beef products that have been cooked to a temperature of 145° Fahrenheit for steaks and roasts and 160° Fahrenheit for ground product.
The USDA suggests that consumers use a food thermometer that measures internal temperature in order to be sure that the food has been cooked thoroughly enough to kill any harmful organisms. The agency also provides a safe minimum internal temperature chart that you can use as guide for cooking your food at safe temperatures.
Consumers with questions regarding the recall can contact Jeff Harvey, company general manager, at (303) 458-7441, ext. 231.
"Having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead" (Acts 17:30-31). God has set a date for His return and anyone who has not accepted Him will be destroyed. Turn from evil and accept the Lord Jesus Christ! Also, love others as you love yourself! Do these things and you will be saved from God's righteous wrath! In God's name, don't choose the devil over God because if you do you will die.
