US Warns of E. Coli Contamination in Ground Beef Products

The USDA has issued a public health alert for ground beef products potentially contaminated with E. coli, advising consumers not to use them.

The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service has identified ground beef products from March that may be contaminated with E. coli.
These products, produced by Greater Omaha Packing Co., are no longer available for purchase but may still be in freezers.
No illnesses have been reported, but consumers are urged to dispose of or return the contaminated beef.
The affected products carry a 'Use/Freeze by' date of April 22 and an establishment number 'EST. 960A'.
E. coli can cause severe health issues, including dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps.
