2 FSIS test results for the 6 target non-O157 STECs appear for only samples of beef manufacturing
trimmings from cattle slaughtered on-site on or after June 4, 2012. At this time, only beef manufacturing trimmings and not
components (such as bench trim, or other components of ground beef such as cheek meat and head meat) are eligible for testing
for non-O157 STEC, as well as E. coli O157:H7.
3 The Number Positive column on this table includes all samples that were positive for
non-O157 STEC overall and does not reflect the total number of individual positive serogroups listed in the
Non-O157 STEC (by serogroup) and E. coli O157:H7 table. This is due to the possibility that one sample may be positive
for multiple serogroups.
