San Diego Meat Co. is recalling 925 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with the E. coli bacteria, health inspectors said today.

The products were produced from Oct. 7 through Oct. 12 and were distributed to restaurants and two caterers in San Diego County, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.

No related illnesses have been reported. The potential contamination was discovered through the inspection service’s microbiological sampling.

Each 15-pound case of ground beef patties and each 10-pound bag of bulk ground beef bears the establishment number EST. 4116 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The front of each package features a “Keep Refrigerated” advisory.
