Warning: Beef Found in New York Recalled at Walmart Due To E. coli

E. coli concerns has forced Walmart to recall over 16,000 pounds of ground beef.

If you recently purchased ground beef products at Walmart you could be at risk for being exposed to E. coli bacteria. The concern is so high that the company itself is taking measures to recall any and all products that left the shelf in recent days.

According to the report the beef was produced in Pennsylvania on either April 26th or 27th and then shipped out across the country to Walmart locations. That means here in New York we are directly affected by this, so I would check on the ground beef you may have just purchased.

What exactly is E. Coli? Here's the definition from the CDC:

Although most strains of E. coli are harmless, others can make you sick.
