Ground Beef Recall

August 30, 2010 Updated Aug 30, 2010 at 9:41 AM EST


Cargill Meat Solutions is recalling 8,500 pounds of ground beef. The meat may be contaminated with E. coli.

It was processed at Cargill's plant in Wyalusing, Pennsylvania, then sold at BJ's Wholesale Club stores in eight states on the east coast, including New York.

The affected beef is marked with the USDA establishment number 9400 and a sell or freeze-by date of July 1.

So far, the US Department of Agriculture says two reported illnesses may be connected to the tainted meat, one in Maine and one in New York.
