JBS Swift Beef Co. of Greeley, Colo., which operates a beef slaughter plant in Grand Island, expanded its voluntary beef recall over the weekend to include about 380,000 pounds of products because of possible E. coli contamination.
Last week, the company voluntarily recalled about 41,000 pounds of possibly contaminated product.
The whole muscle cuts subject to the recall were produced at JBS Swift Beef Co.'s facility in Greeley, Colo., on April 21, 2009, and distributed nationally and internationally.
The JBS Swift recall is part of an ongoing series of food recalls, Wenonah Hauter said on Monday. Hauter is executive director of Food and Water Watch, a consumer watchdog and food safety advocacy group.
