Ground beef recalled over E. coli fears

ATLANTA (CNN) -- Ground beef sold at Albertsons and Save-A-Lot supermarkets in 10 Western and Midwestern states is being recalled because of possible contamination with E. coli bacteria.

The recall was announced Monday night by Supervalu (Charts, Fortune 500), the parent company of the two supermarket chains, "out of an abundance of caution." The beef, most of which was sold under the Moran's label, has sell-by dates from April 20 to May 7.

The product was sold at Albertsons locations in California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming and Save-A-Lot stores in Arizona, California and Nevada.

In addition to the Moran's brand ground beef, the company recalled sirloin fresh hamburger patties sold under the Albertsons label, Supervalu said in a statement posted on its Web site.

Customers who purchased the beef can return it for a full refund or exchange. The company has set up a toll-free number to handle customer questions: (800) 325-4164.

Just because you add a laughing emoticon doesn't make it funny.




Thus concludes my one post per week, superfluous as usual.

Likewise announcing that your post has no value does negate its lack of merit.

Mean spirited comment or ploy to evoke more posting?
