JBC Swift Beef Co. E-Coli Outbreak Includes at H-E-B [Recalls]


If you've purchased any beef products from H-E-B recently, check that they're not one of these following types—if they are, they may have E-coli contamination and are being recalled by the grocer as part of a nationwide effort.


  • Raw Beef Briskets with plant inspection #969 (EST #969) and sell-by dates between 5/12 and 6/20
  • Raw Beef Inside skirt steaks in a Styrofoam tray with sell-by dates between 5/4 and 6/20
  • Hill Country Fare Beef for fajitas with a sell-by date of 5/23
  • Any fresh ground beef in a Styrofoam tray with sell-by dates between 5/9 and 6/20

The meat originated from Colorado firm JBS Swift Beef Co. and are part of a national recall that's affected an estimated 380,000 pounds of meat across the country. Anyone with recalled products can return them to H-E-B for a full refund/replacement, or call Customer Relations at 800-432-3113.

In other news, Food Inc. is showing at the Alamo South Lamar location this weekend...

so, if i'm following along properly, HEB is buying contaminated meat from a plant in colorado, not texas. then HEB is packaging it as "hill country fare" and selling it in stores throughout texas. punkasschumps deluxe.

HEB = "Here's E-coli Beef"
