At the end of September, we had the recall of 300,000 to 21.7 million pounds of ground beef. Today, we have another recall of 1 million pounds.
Cargill Inc. said Saturday it is recalling more than 1 million pounds of ground beef that may be contaminated with E. coli bacteria, the second time in less than a month it has voluntarily recalled beef that may have been tainted.
No illnesses have been reported, said John Keating, president of Cargill Regional Beef.
The agribusiness giant produced the beef between Oct. 8 and Oct. 11 at a plant in Wyalusing, Pa. and distributed it to retailers across the country. They include Giant, Shop Rite, Stop & Shop, Wegmans and Weis.
Cargill learned the meat may be contaminated after the Agriculture Department found a problem with a sample of the beef produced on Oct. 8, the company said. The bacteria is E. coli O157:H7.
A spokeswoman for Cargill said 10 states are included in the recall — Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Tostinos and Jeno's frozen pizzas were recalled, too.
I swear I'm about to give up everything but homegrown fruits and veggies, and since I stink at gardening that might just help my diet, too!

Yikes, that's pretty scary because I live in lower, slower Delaware in the summers but spend a lot of time in Philly for sports and music events. Jersey, PA, VA, MA are all surrounding DE, wonder why we didn't get a warning.
