Maryland Man Sick in E. coli Bison Outbreak
Another victim has been identified in the Rocky Mountain Natural Meats E. coli bison outbreak and recall, according to food safety attorneys at Pritzker Olsen law firm.
A man in Baltimore, Maryland became sick with E. coli O157:H7 after eating Great Range brand bison meat in mid June, say Pritzker Olsen attorneys, who represent the food poisoning victim. Great Range was one brand involved in the recall, which also included Nature’s Rancher and The Buffalo Guys brands.
The 28-year-old man was notified by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene that the strain of E. coli O157:H7 that sickened him matched the strain that sickened others in Colorado and one in New York.
The food safety lawyers also represent a woman from Lakewood, Colorado, in a lawsuit filed last week against Rocky Mountain Natural Meats. That client was hospitalized for several days after eating bison meat bought at King Soopers grocery.
