FSIS RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT: CALIFORNIA FIRM RECALLS GROUND BEEF FOR POSSIBLE E. COLI O157:H7 CONTAMINATION

April 20, 2007 – Richwood Meat Co, Inc., a Merced, Calif., establishment, is voluntarily recalling approximately 107,943 pounds of frozen ground beef products because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced
today.
