What happened, in plain English
Kabob's Acquisition, Inc. is recalling approximately 44,850 pounds of raw intact and heat-treated not ready-to-eat (NRTE) meat and poultry products because they may be contaminated with E. coli O121. The contamination likely originated from flour supplied by General Mills, which was recalled due to a multi-state illness outbreak. Although there are no confirmed reports of adverse reactions yet, the company urges consumers not to eat these items.

“Kabob's Recall: Raw Meat/Poultry with Possible E. coli O121.” GovInfoNow, updated October 9, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275581-kabob-s-recall-raw-meat-poultry-with-possible-e-coli. Based on USDA FSIS recall #057-2016 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/kabobs-acquisition-inc--recalls-not-ready-eat-meat-and-poultry-products-due-possible).
Why it’s dangerous
The products may contain E. coli O121, a type of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). Infection can cause bloody diarrhea and vomiting, with symptoms appearing up to 34 days after consumption. While most people recover within a week, it can rarely lead to severe complications like hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), particularly in children under 5, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
Who’s affected
This recall affects hotel, restaurant, and institutional locations nationwide that received these products. Individual consumers who purchased these items from such establishments or have them in their freezers are also at risk.
How to tell if you have this one
Look for boxed plastic tray packages containing 100 or 200 pieces of various meat and poultry items (such as Chicken Gyoza Potstickers, Beef Pastelitos, or Uncooked Coconut Chicken). Check the case code and packaging date code on the label. The products bear establishment number Est. 6640 or P-6640 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
