Standard Operating Procedure for E. coli O157

G1973
Published 2009

Beef lean trimmings used to manufacture ground beef provide an opportunity for E.coli O157:H7 contamination. This opportunity occurs by grinding meat that has been exposed to E.coli O157:H7 contamination, usually during the slaughter operation. The ground beef could therefore be contaminated from lean trimmings derived from the outside surface layers of the carcass.
