Recall of Beef Due to E. Coli Fear

Almost 400,000 pounds of beef have been recalled by two beef producers, due to concerns about E. Coli contamination. HFX, Inc. and Richwood Meat Co., the two beef producers involved in the recall, are in California and Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania beef was distributed in Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. The California beef was distributed in California, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Arizona. E. Coli can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration, and is potentially deadly. Several illnesses tied to steak products have been reported in Pennsylvania. Four of those five people have been hospitalized.
