More than 160,000 pounds of ground beef from Wolverine Packing Co. were recalled nationwide over potential E. coli contamination , the Health website reports today (Nov. 22, 2024).
The meat was connected to a 15--person E.coli outbreak in Minnesota, prompting the USDA to label the recall a class 1. for the highest risk of illness.
The USDA said the ground beef was distributed to restaurants across the country , and is urging restaurants to check their fridges and freezers for the affected products.
Wolverine Packing Co., a Detroit, Mich. meat manufacturer , voluntarily recalled 167,277 pounds of ground beef products after a small E. coli outbreak was connected to the meat.
Fifteen people in Minnesota reported E. coli infections between Nov. 2 and Nov. 10 after consuming the ground beef.
The USDA listed the recall as class 1. -- the highest classification -- meaning there is a "reasonable probability" that consuming the affected product will result in serious health consequences or death.
