Cargill Meat Solutions’ Ground Beef Recall Due to E. coli O157:H7 causes recall at Albertsons, Safeway, Pak ‘N Save, and Vons

The recalled products include some products that were not made with Cargill beef but were prepared in close proximity to the recalled Cargill beef. The recalled products were sold between August 20 and August 23.

To dat,e there have been no confirmed reports of illness associated with the consumption of Cargill products or products sold at Albertsons, Safeway, Pak ‘N Save or Vons stores. The stores issued a recall out of an abundance of caution. @ https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/08/24/1556225/0/en/Albertsons-Safeway-Pak-N-Save-and-Vons-Voluntarily-Recall-Ground-Beef-Products-in-Seven-States-in-Cooperation-with-Cargill-Meat-Solutions-Ground-Beef-Recall-Due-to-Possible-E-coli-.html
