Piggly Wiggly: Voluntary BEEF Recall
Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2007 by davidvoy
Fresh Brands Distributing Incorporated says it’s voluntarily recalling certain ground beef products sold by its Piggly Wiggly stores, including one in Maquoketa, Iowa.
The recall was issued after E. coli infections in two people may have been associated with beef bought in Monroe and Sister Bay, Wisconsin.
Dave Flora is a consultant for W
isconsin Food Safety Services. He says Sheboygan-based Fresh Brands operates Piggly Wiggly stores throughout Wisconsin, one in Iowa and a few in Illinois.
The recall for possible E. coli contamination is for products labeled “ground chuck” and “certified angus beef ground round 85 percent lean,” with sell-by dates from July 15th through August fifth.
