More than 800,000 pounds of ground beef from a Fresno processing plant have been recalled because of concerns the meat might be linked to a Salmonella outbreak, federal officials said Thursday.
Cargill Inc., owner of Beef Packers Inc. in Fresno, is voluntarily recalling 825,769 pounds of ground beef produced this summer. Much of the meat was packaged and sold in West Coast states, including California, under different brand names, so customers should check with the store where they bought ground beef to find out if it's safe.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Safety Inspection Service is investigating the outbreak. So far, 40 people in nine states - including five people in the California counties of Orange and Tulare - have been sickened, according to the California Department of Public Health. At least four people have been hospitalized. All are expected to recover.
