Ground beef recall of 370,000 pounds
A voluntary recall of ground beef processed at a Vernon, CA plant and sold in 11 states has been expanded to include an additional 370,000 pounds that may have been contaminated with a potentially deadly strain of E. coli bacteria. United Food Group LLC yesterday expanded the recall, which involved 75,000 pounds and was announced Sunday in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the California State Department of Health Services, based on unspecified concerns raised by the state agency, according to a company statement.
