American Foods Group Beef Recall: West Virginia
West Virginia Commissioner of Agriculture Gus R. Douglass is warning consumers about a recall of ground beef products in surrounding states. American Foods Group, LLC, a Green Bay, Wisconsin, firm, has recalled approximately 95,927 pounds of various coarse and fine ground beef products because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) announced Saturday.
The ground beef products subject to recall were produced on October 10, 2007, and were distributed to retail establishments and distributors in Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Virginia.
“Although West Virginia was not explicitly mentioned in the recall, it is possible some of that product entered the state, given the number of states bordering ours that are included,” said Commissioner Douglass.
The problem was discovered through an investigation of two illnesses by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
