More than 23,000 pounds of ground beef are being recalled due to possible E. coli contamination that could be deadly if consumed.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Department of Agriculture<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>issued a Class I recall, warning that the product poses a high risk of causing \u201cserious adverse health consequences or death.\u201d<\/p>\n Estimates suggest it takes anywhere from 90 to 115 cows to produce that much ground beef.<\/p>\n According to Fox Business<\/a><\/em>, the recalled beef includes 10-pound cylindrical packages, or chubs, of \u201cBeef, Coarse Ground, 73L,\u201d 10-pound chubs of \u201cFire River Farms Classic Beef Fine Ground 73L,\u201d and 10-pound chubs of \u201cFire River Farms Classic Beef Fine Ground 81L,\u201d with case codes 18601, 19583, and 19563.<\/p>\n All products carry a \u201cUse\/Freeze By\u201d date of Feb. 4, 2026, with time stamps between 07:03 and 08:32 printed on two stickers located on the outside of the cardboard cases.<\/p>\n Editor’s Note:\u00a0McDonald\u2019s is not part of this recall; the comparison is simply used to show the scale of the affected beef.<\/em><\/p>\n A standard McDonald’s<\/a>\u00a0Big Mac uses about 1.6 ounces of beef per patty, and each sandwich includes two patties. That equals roughly 0.2 pounds of beef per Big Mac.<\/p>\n At that rate, 23,000 pounds of ground beef could produce approximately 115,000 Big Macs \u2014 highlighting just how much product is impacted by the recall.<\/p>\n The meat was produced and packaged on Jan. 14 by Idaho-based CS Beef Packers, then shipped to California, Idaho and Oregon.<\/p>\n Read More:<\/strong>\u00a0Repackaged M&M\u2019s Recall Issued Nationwide Over Serious Safety Concern<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n However, there is a chance the contaminated meat may have traveled farther east through distribution channels, so consumers in all states should be aware of the recall and the potential risks it poses to their families.<\/p>\n This latest recall brings a whole new meaning to the popular phrase, \u201cWhere\u2019s the beef?\u201d<\/p>\n Take a look at a different kind of beef.<\/p>\n The difference between a true country music feud and one country singer being a punk is the response.
