The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has announced that there are seven (7) E. coli cases in Massachusetts linked to Coleman ground beef sold at Whole Markets Food stores during the month of July.

According to the USDA-FSIS, the Massachusetts E. coli cases are part of a multi-state outbreak linked to Nebraska Beef, Ltd., a supplier of ground beef components. The states involved in this outbreak include California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
