Over 83 tons of ground beef recalled nationwide

Wolverine Packing Co. has recalled 167,277 pounds of ground beef due to potential E. coli contamination, affecting fresh and frozen products shipped nationwide.

The recall follows an outbreak in Minnesota, where 15 people fell ill after consuming the beef.

Products bear the establishment number “EST. 2574B” and include fresh items with a use-by date of November 14, 2024, and frozen items produced on October 22, 2024, WKBN has reported.

The USDA advises consumers to discard the products, ensure ground beef is cooked to 160°F, and seek medical attention for symptoms like dehydration or bloody diarrhea.
