Double Check Your Meat Before it Hits The Grill This Weekend

If you’re planning on firing up the grill this Memorial Day weekend, you may want to double check your meat products before you get a very un-festive surprise.

The “U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service” has issued a recall for more than 62,000 pounds of raw beef due to E. coli concerns. The meat was packaged at the Aurora Packing Company in North Aurora, Illinois on April 19, but was shipped nationwide for distribution.

According to the USDA’s announcement, the products being recalled have the establishment number “EST. 788” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The recall includes more than 40 products, most of which are cuts of steak, like ribeyes, as well as ribs and brisket cuts. See the full list of products at the USDA website.
