Contaminated fresh ground beef caused a possible E. coli outbreak that killed two people and sent 16 others to hospitals, according to federal health officials on Monday. Twenty-eight people may have become ill after eating beef produced by Fairbank Farms of Ashville, N.Y. All but three of the suspected infections are in the northeastern U.S. and 18 are in New England.
Fairbank Farms recalled almost 546,000 pounds of fresh ground beef that was distributed in September to stores from North Carolina to Maine. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s recall notice said that the possibly tainted meat had been sold in several forms, from meatloaf and meatball mix to hamburger patties etc.
