Topps Frozen Beef Recall Includes Some Store Brands
NEWARK The voluntary recall of frozen beef products announced by the Topps Meat Company, L.L.C., includes some products bearing brand names other than Topps and consumers are urged to check whether they have any of the recalled products listed below.
The brand names on these recalled products include Shop Rite, Pathmark, Sam's Club, Kohler, Rastelli's, Roma, Sand Castle and Westside.
Topps Meat Company, located in Elizabeth, N.J., voluntarily expanded its recall announced on September 25 to include 21.7million pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.
This represents all products produced by Topps with a "sell by date"
or "best if used by date" that falls between September 25, 2007 and September
25, 2008. This information may be found on the back panel of the package. All
recalled products will have a USDA establishment number of EST 9748, which is
located on the back panel of the package and/or in the USDA legend.
Products affected by this expanded recall were distributed to retail grocery
stores and food service institutions throughout the United States. Based on
consumption patterns, Topps believes that the vast majority of the
recalled product has been consumed.
It is imperative that consumers look for these products in their freezers
immediately. If you have a product marked with the above information, please
remove the sell-by date and UPC code and send it to: Attn: Recall
Coordinator, Topps Meat Company LLC, P.O. Box 219, 1161 E. Broad
Street, Elizabeth, NJ 07207 for a full refund. It is important to dispose the
remaining product immediately.
Symptoms of E. coli O157:H7 exposure could include stomach cramps and
diarrhea. Bloody diarrhea may develop. E. coli disease sometimes leads to a
complication called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). If you exhibited any of
these symptoms within 3 to 5 days of consuming any of the products specified
above, seek medical attention immediately.
Topps has established a Consumer Hotline to answer questions
concerning this recall. Consumers may call 888-734-0451 or visit
