FDA Recalls Ground Beef Contaminated with E. coli

Before you throw your hamburgers on the grill this Memorial Day weekend, check to make sure they're not part of the 1.8 million pounds of ground beef products that were recalled this week because they might be contaminated with E. coli. 

There are five known retailers that could have potentially received the tainted meat, including three here in the Midwest:

• Gordon Food Service Marketplace stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Florida 
• M Sixty Six General Store in Orleans, Michigan 
• Buchtel Food Mart in Buchtel, Ohio 
• Surf N Turf Market in Sebring, Florida
• Giorgio's Italian Delicatessen in Stuart, Florida 

This list of stores is not final and more could be added as the investigation continues. 

Consumers are advised to return or throw out any meat that has the code EST.2574B and a production date between March 31 and April 18, 2014. The meat is sold under a variety of labels, but comes from Wolverine Packing Company in Detroit.
