Beef Recall Expands

An expanded recall offers another great reason to forgo the beef and stick with veggies this July 4. E. coli may be thriving in a number of assorted beef products manufactured by JBS Swift Beef Co., based in Greeley, Colorado. The company has expanded its initial recall on June 22 to include about 380,000 pounds of potentially contaminated beef. This raises the recall total to about 421,000 pounds. The recall came after an investigation revealed that the meat may be linked to 18 illnesses. E. coli can be deadly and can cause kidney failure in extreme cases. Stick to faux meats so you can grill with ease and stay away from disease.
