Wanted to get this out to the masses since we have so many members, sounds like a serious issue that is very widespread and high impact.

Topps Meat Co. on Saturday expanded a recall of ground beef from about 300,000 pounds to 21.7 million pounds, one of the largest meat recalls in U.S. history.

The recalled products are all ground beef patties with various brand names.

In a statement, the Elizabeth, New Jersey, company said the hamburger patties may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, a bacterium that can cause severe diarrhea and cramps, as well as other complications.
 
YUCK....I'm finding it harder and harder to eat these days :yuck: Fish is off the menu and now this...

Thanks for posting!
 
There is no possible excuse for a contamination like this. At least the company did a recall...I hope they get some sort of penalty...
 
isn't this the second beef recall in a few years, in jersey?

i remember vacationing on the jersey shore, and hearing of a meat recall..much smaller than this..but a recall is a recall.

good think we don't buy beef patties...
 
is this the meat in krabby patty's? Mr Crab will have a fit when he finds out... :)
:lipssealedsmilie:

Thanks for sharing, ugh, time to check the freezer (or does it affect Canada?)
