Western Meat Company of Tucson, AZ, is recalling ground beef sold between Jan. 1, 2014, and April 30, 2015, due to the potential risk of E. coli contamination, according to a May 27 announcement from the Arizona Department of Agriculture.
The recall affects only 5- and 10-pound bulk packages of ground beef sold between those dates, so customers are advised to check any product packages for the label shown. Anyone who might have this recalled ground beef in the freezer or refrigerator should note the quantity and destroy it or return it to the meat wholesaler for reimbursement. The recalled ground beef was sold to limited customers in Tucson, according to the agriculture department.
