Recalled Beef Sold At Safeway And Sam's Club

More Local News
SACRAMENTO (CBS13/AP) ― A Fresno-based beef company is recalling hundreds of thousands of ground beef products because of concerns it may be linked to an outbreak of salmonella. Health officials in California and Colorado say at least nine people have reported illnesses are tied to the ground beef.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service says Beef Packers Inc. is recalling 825,769 pounds of ground beef produced between June 5, 2009 through June 23. 

The beef products bear the establishment number "EST. 31913" printed on case code labels.

The beef was distributed to retail distribution centers in Arizona, California, Colorado and Utah.   In Northern California, the beef was sold mostly in Safeway and Sam's Club stores, according to a list of retailers released by the state public health department.  Click here to see the entire list of retailers.

The USDA says because the beef was repackaged under different retail names, consumers should check with the store they bought beef from to determine if they've purchased any recalled beef.
