Approximately 167,277 pounds of ground beef products have been recalled across the United States due to potential contamination with E. coli, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced in a statement on Nov. 20.
Officials have so far identified 15 people sickened in the outbreak, but the true number may be higher. Additionally, the FSIS has expressed concerns that some restaurants may still have the affected products in their fridges and freezers.
