A New Jersey company has recalled nearly 43,000 pounds of beef over concerns the meat might be contaminated with E. coli, a potentially deadly bacteria.

Swedesboro-based Lakeside Refrigerated Services, which produced the raw ground beef products on June 1, pulled the meat during routine testing by the the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, officials said.

There have been no reports of anyone getting sick, though the FSIS urges people to check their refrigerators and freezers. Anyone who finds any of the following packages of meat should throw them out or return them.

• 1-lb. vacuum packages containing “MARKETSIDE BUTCHER ORGANIC GRASS-FED GROUND BEEF” and a use or freeze by date of 07/01/20 and lot code P-53298-82.
• 1-lb. vacuum packages containing four ¼ lb. pieces of “MARKETSIDE BUTCHER ORGANIC GRASS-FED GROUND BEEF PATTIES” and a use or freeze by date of June 27, 2020 and lot code P-53934-28.
• 3-lb. vacuum packages containing three 1 lb. pieces of “MARKETSIDE BUTCHER ORGANIC GRASS-FED GROUND BEEF 93% LEAN / 7% FAT” and a use or freeze by date of 07/01/20 and lot code P53929-70.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 46841” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

E. coli can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps. While most people recover within a week, some develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), according to health officials.. It is most common in children under 5-years old and older adults.
