Recall Alert! E. Coli Found In Ground Beef Sold Nationwide

You should probably check your freezer if you've been grocery shopping at Walmart. Yesterday a nationwide recall went out for ground beef sold at Walmart locations nationwide, and you might have some in your freezer. The reason behind the nationwide recall? E. Coli was found in some samples of the meat.

Tainted meat seems to be something we are constantly dealing with, and that's scary. Yesterday Cargill Meat Solutions of Pennslyvania voluntarily recalled more than 16,000 pounds of ground beef as it may contain E. Coli.
