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.
A statement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture said 25 illnesses are under investigation in Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The ground beef products being recalled have a “sell by date” or a “best if used by date” between September 25, 2007, and September 25, 2008, Topps’ statement said.
For more information, call Topps at (888) 734-0451.

I suspect this is yet another conspiracy by the Bushluminati to silence Michael Moore… by starving him to death. Rumor has it, those 300,000 pounds were meant to be his Thanksgiving Dinner.
(PS, I was going to use a Rosie joke instead, but I assume she’s probably a vegetarian so I didn’t. I will however steal a line from Larry the Cable Guy and say “she’s blowin’ up a like a tick on Dracula” and “If she’d have gotten any bigger, she’d have blocked The View, that’s all I’m sayin’”
