Ground Beef Recall - Here We Go Again

On August 15, the U.S. Department of Agriculture stated that National Beef Packing Company has recalled about 60,424 pounds of ground beef after an inspection at an Ohio processing plant showed E. coli contamination. The beef was shipped nationwide to distributors for further processing and distribution. Winn Dixie and Sam's Club in Colorado have been notifying customers of the recall.

The tainted meat has been repackaged and sold under different retail names, however, each package should have the number "Est 262" within the USDA mark of inspection.

There have been 35 food recalls through July 2011 involving meat products. At this rate, 2011 meat recalls are on pace to increase almost 10% over all of the recalls that occurred in 2010.

Use a meat grinder and grind your own ground meat at home. Boycott E. coli.
