MINNEAPOLIS - The Sam's Club warehouse chain has pulled a brand of ground beef patties from its shelves nationwide after four children who ate the food, produced by Cargill Inc., developed E. coli illness. Cargill asked customers to return any remaining patties purchased after Aug. 26 to the store or destroy them.
The children became ill between Sept. 10 and Sept. 20 after eating ground beef patties that were bought frozen under the name American Chef's Selection Angus Beef Patties from three Sam's Club stores in the Twin Cities area.

guys, gals, be careful. cook that food extra good, i don't wanna see anyone get sick. :barf:
 
Better yet, stop buying the premade patties. The homemade ones are SO much better, you actaully KNOW what is in them. Make sure any and all ground meat is cooked thoroughly, its not only down to ground beef that is harmful. When meat is ground it allows any bateria that is on the outside to be mixied in with it all. Steaks are fine medium rare, ground meat of any kind is NOT.

Ecoli isnt something worth risking no matter how good the food tastes cooked a certain way, cook it til you think its done, then cook it some more. There are disposible meat thermometers sold in many grocery stores that are fairly cheap, that is what I personally choose to use, you insert them in the meat and they change color to tell you if the meat is done or not.

I just ate beef.... and I'm going to eat more...

but thanks...
 
:crazy: Thanks for keeping us up to date!
 
Appreciate the watching out, but I'm thawing out hamburger for tomorrow as I type this. Properly cooked, there should be minimal worries.
 
:omg:Its the down cows they pull off from the manure from the truck that does not get hosed down good then mixed with the thousands of other cows going in the same day. For the record, Problem is some of the plants do not have good record keeping and cannot pinpoint the bad lot number and then are forced to full recall from beggiing of know safe lot record to the end of know safe lot number. "Just cook it till its done" like or moderator says and you will be safe. New barcode in the works to account for more traceability for safety "from farm to the table" on all perishables.
