USDA recalls 22,912 lbs of ground beef over E. coli O145 risk; no illnesses reported.

The USDA is recalling 22,912 pounds of raw ground beef produced by CS Beef Packers, LLC in Idaho on January 14, 2026, due to possible contamination with E. coli O145. The beef, distributed to distributors in California, Idaho, and Oregon for food service use, includes three products packaged in 10-pound chubs with a use/freeze-by date of February 4, 2026, and production timestamps between 7:03 and 8:32 a.m., marked with establishment number EST. 630. No illnesses have been reported, but E. coli O145 can cause severe symptoms including bloody diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach cramps, and may lead to life-threatening kidney failure, especially in young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. The USDA urges food service providers to stop serving and discard the products, and consumers to check their freezers and avoid consuming any recalled items.
