The 53-year-old woman from Lakewood, Colorado, was hospitalized with an infection of E. coli O157:H7 that state health officials have matched to the outbreak strain of E. coli using DNA fingerprint analysis.
She consumed buffalo meat produced by Rocky Mountain Natural Meats of Henderson, Colorado, before the company announced a recall July 2 of 66,000 pounds of bison products that it said may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, a potentially deadly bacterium.
USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service has said publicly that the cluster of matching E. coli illnesses in Colorado is associated with the recalled buffalo products. One additional confirmed outbreak case is in New York.
