Creation Gardens Recalling Beef Products Due to Possible E. Coli Contamination

Creation Gardens has recalled 22,832 pounds of raw ground beef and beef primal cut products due to potential E. coli contamination.

The affected products were produced on May 31, June 1, and June 2, 2017. For the full list of affected products, weight information, and product codes, see the official release issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.

The products display establishment number EST. 7914 inside the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s inspection mark. They were shipped to food service locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee.

The E. coli bacterium can be deadly and may cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps between two and eight days after exposure. Although most people recover within one week, some develop hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure. While people of any age can develop this condition, it is most common in children under five years old and in older adults. Symptoms include easy bruising, pallor, and less urine.

Anyone who bought one of the affected products should either throw it away to take it back to the place of purchase. If you experience any of the above symptoms, get emergency medical care immediately.

Advancement Through Science: The Purpose of the Beef Cattle Research Council

Video: Advancement Through Science: The Purpose of the Beef Cattle Research Council

Every time a beef animal is sold in Canada, the Canadian Beef Cattle Check-Off is collected, and a portion of it funds research and extension through the Beef Cattle Research Council.

The BCRC has a vision of a transparent, competitive and sustainable Canadian beef industry. And, we’re on a mission to support growth in beef demand, increase productivity and earn public trust. Research investments by producers are making that happen.

The BCRC works to advance the Canadian beef industry through industry-led research and extension. We create practical tools and resources that help producers make improvements in:

?? animal health and welfare,

?? forage and grassland productivity

?? feed efficiency and nutrition

?? beef quality and safety and

??environmental sustainability.

Guided by a board of producers from across Canada, the BCRC has one goal -- to make every producer-paid research dollar count. For each dollar invested through the Canadian Beef Cattle Check-Off, we leverage two to three dollars from other funding sources.

By bridging the gap between research and real-life application, we empower producers to make economical, science-based decisions to help drive innovation, sustainability and profitability in their operations.

Where industry investment and collaboration intersect with research and ranching – that’s where we find advancement through science and the real purpose of the Beef Cattle Research Council.
