Approximately 167,000 pounds of both fresh and frozen ground beef products have been recalled by the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service over potential E. coli contamination.
The potential contamination was first spotted by the Minnesota Departments of Agriculture and Health after it determined there was a link between a recent spate of food-borne illnesses and meat from Wolverine Packing Company, a meat distribution company based in Detroit, according to the FSIS.
