OMAHA, Neb. — Nebraska Beef Ltd. is suing a Colorado company to settle a dispute over the liability for beef that was recalled last summer and the cost of the cattle involved.
The Omaha-based processor recalled nearly 7 million pounds of beef in two separate recalls last summer after its products were linked to at least 76 cases of E. coli illnesses.
At least some of the recalled meat came from cattle that Loveland, Colo.-based Meyer Natural Foods LLC bought and sent to Nebraska Beef's plant for processing.
Nebraska Beef attorney Bill Lamson says the case is primarily a dispute on expenses between the companies.
