Ground beef
from Georgia's Talk Hosted by Georgia Landers
Nearly 43,000 pounds of ground beef being sold at Walmart and other stores is being recalled because of possible E.coli contamination. The agency has asked anyone who purchased the recalled items to throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. It is important to not consume the potentially contaminated products. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Saturday (June 14) that the New Jersey-based Lakeside Refrigerated Services is recalling 42,922 pounds of ground beef produced on June 1 due to possible E.coli contamination. The products affected by the recall were shipped to retail stores nationwide, including Walmart, and were sold under brand names including Thomas Farms and Marketside Butcher. The recalled products have establishment number "EST. 46841" in the USDA mark of inspection, with the specific use-by dates and lot codes listed below. You can read the agency's news release here. The agency also provided some photos of the product labels, which can be viewed here. I dont own the copyrights to the music playing in the background.
