Beef recall includes Maryland
Our colleagues at the Picture of Health blog are reporting that the big beef recall includes Maryland.
Fairbanks Farms has voluntarily recalled about a million pounds of beef that was sold at Trader Joe's, Giant and BJ's.
New York beef manufacturer Fairbanks Farms has issued a voluntary recall of a little more than half a million pounds of ground beef. The recall affects states from Maine to North Carolina. Someone has already died in New Hampshire and others were sickened in other states after eating the beef contaminated with the bacteria E.coli.
The products include ground beef, meatloaf and meatball mix. They call sell-by dates from Sept. 19-28. Here are the details from Fairbanks Farms. And here's a list of the products from the USDA.
If you have doubts, call the store where you bought the meat. Or just pitch it.
Comments
it would be terrifically helpful and serve accuracy for you to use the qualifier "GROUND beef" in each reference.

Provided the average temperature is getting higher, accordingly all forms of germs, viruses, and influenza etc are more likely to multiply.
Some skeptics say the warning against hazards of climate change is overstated, but judging from more frequent and widespread outbreaks of e. coli, salmonella, and bird, swine flu cases endangering human lives and economic recovery seriously, some prompt measures need to be taken, I guess.
