Here’s What To Know About The Ground Beef Recall

According to NBC Chicago, the U.S. food agency said over 100 fresh and frozen ground beef products are affected by the recall. Ultimately, about 167,277 pounds of meat were at risk. The fresh products reportedly had an expiration date of Nov. 14, with a production date of Oct. 22. Some of the products are blank Angus ground beef, patties, and steakburgers.

FSIS has asked restaurants and consumers to check their food storage and either throw away or return the ground beef. They believe the impacted meat can cause symptoms of E. coli.

Who Has This Recall Impacted?

NBC Chicago reports that FSIS received notice of illnesses on Nov. 13. At least 15 people got sick in Minnesota after eating the beef. Amid an investigation, officials discovered a link between the sicknesses and meat from Wolverine-manufactured products.
