Cargill Marshall — EST. 85M

EST. 85M appears on ALDI skirt steak dated February 2025, sirloin tip dated November 2024, rib roast photographed October 2023 and country-style ribs dated October 2025.

These package versions identify processing in Marshall. They do not establish the cattle’s farm, raising country or slaughter site.

The roast date is the photograph date; the other dates are package use/freeze dates.

Current purchased lots may use other processors.

Marshall’s BRCGS Issue 9 certificate records an unannounced April 23–24, 2026 audit, grade AA+, and expiry September 28, 2027. It covers portioning, grinding and specified packaging.

A site food-safety audit provides assurance about the management system within its scope. It does not certify cattle feed or farm welfare.

The certificate is separate from the full audit, corrective-action records and individual lot results.

A 2026 audit does not certify the conditions of a 2023–25 photographed pack.

Cargill’s January 2026 E. coli testing programme includes Marshall. It covers eligible trim and ground products; intact vacuum-packed boxed beef is not tested under this programme.

Testing is targeted by product type and intended use. The plant name alone does not establish that a steak or roast was sampled.

No result or sampling record is assigned to any linked ALDI package.

Untested intact material is intended for intact use; customers changing that use need appropriate controls.

In August 2023, FSIS issued an alert for ALDI carne picada from EST. 85M after a report of soft clear plastic. No injuries or illnesses were confirmed; the product was already off sale.

This is a documented incident involving another item from the plant, not a recall of the four products linked here.

The affected carne picada was produced July 25, 2023, with an August 22 use/freeze date and specified timestamps.

No recall was requested because it was no longer available for purchase. This history does not establish a current contamination problem.
