More than 60 tons of ground beef are being pulled from stores across the country over concerns that the meat may be contaminated with E. coli bacteria, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service announcement on Monday.
Distributed by the New Jersey–based Lakeside Refrigerated Services, the products under investigation include ground beef patties and loose ground beef sold at retailers, including Walmart and Winn-Dixie, under brand names such as Thomas Farms, Naturally Better, Nature’s Reserve, and Marketside Butcher. Several of the items are labeled “grass-fed” or “Wagyu.”
