Ground beef sold at Walmart recalled over E. coli concerns

elated · ‎06-09-2010

The Department of Agriculture on Wednesday issued a "High-Class 1" alert warning that more than 16,000 pounds of beef shipped to the retail giant nationwide is being recalled over concerns that it could be contaminated with E. coli.

The meat was processed by Cargill Meat Solutions, which issued the recall, and is in several products that were produced on April 26-27. The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is concerned some of the packages may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers.

The recall alert lists the products that have been recalled, along with their labels. Any consumers who discover they have the products should throw the items away or return them to their place of purchase.

I have never bought meat at Walmart. There is also a big recall from Trader Joe's. It seems both of these places have some sort of food recall every week.

I don't shop Walmart but have heard that their meats, while processed in USA, don't come from here. I've done searches and can't find out any information so, without actually reading the labels, not sure if there's any way to tell. Anyone know?

I do. Find it to be just as good as any other place and cost less. I don't judge you, why do you feel the need to judge others in a negative way?

Happened to be at WM this morning and the shelves of ground beef were chock full. Maybe it was select stores? And, I'm guessing shelves are full because it is now tourist season and a major bike week starts shortly.
