Ground Beef Sold at Sam’s Club and Target Being Recalled
Another E. Coli outbreak, that has caused one death so far, has grocery shoppers returning ground beef to stores all across the country.
The US Department of Agriculture released a list of stores that sold the recalled beef products and that list includes Target and Sam's Club among others. The meat was supplied by Cargill Meat Solutions and they issued the recall on September 19th. This particular E. Coli outbreak resulted in 17 illnesses and one death since August 16th. One of the major concerns of the USDA Food and Safety Inspection Service is that people may be storing the ground beef in a freezer. So if you purchased beef from Sam's Club or Target and you have it in your freezer make sure you check the list below before you consume it.
