The recalled products have "EST. 788" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The problem was discovered during random sample testing by the government, and there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions.
The term "E. coli" refers to a group of bacteria, and only some strains are dangerous. An E. coli infection can cause anything from stomach cramps to kidney failure.
