WASHINGTON — United Food Group, LLC, a Vernon, Calif.-based establishment, is voluntarily expanding its June 3 recall of ground beef products because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced.
A link between illnesses in several states and the ground beef subject to recall was determined through an investigation carried out by the California Department of Health Services and the Colorado Department of Health, in coordination with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The expanded recall totals approximately 370,000 pounds, the USDA said.
The ground beef products in the expanded recall were produced on April 13, while the products subject to the original recall were produced on April 20.
