Mark’s Quality Meats Recall
On January 5, 2008, the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) in cooperation with Mark’s Quality Meats, Inc. of Detroit Michigan, issued a recall of approximately 13,150 pounds of beef (steak and ground beef products) because it may have been contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.
The steak and ground beef products subject to recall were produced on December 20, 21, 24 or 26, 2007, and were distributed to restaurants in the metropolitan Detroit area. These products were not available for purchase by consumers in retail establishments.
The recall announcement did not list specific Detroit restaurants involved in the recall. Rather, the announcement states, “Anyone who consumed these types of products at Detroit area restaurants and is experiencing an illness should contact a physician immediately.”
